So anywho I'm one of the billion people on this site complaining about my 2011 Rubi not having enough power and the lack there of in tuners for that "special" year in jeeps. But anywho I'm really pushing to get a RIPP stage 2 supercharger to add a little umph to my jeep. It should hold off until jeep comes out with a diesel or a V8 option. One thing I would like to get more info on is re-gearing. I currently am running the stock 4:10's and have a 4" TF LA with some 35's and running PSC BFH brawler winch etc. I'm barely squeekin 12 MPG and it's quite depressing lol...anywho give me some advice, I would appreciate it!

Are you saying 12 mpg?
Depends on how much you are willing to spend.
Re gear will be the most noticeable cheaper
option. Roughly $1000
You could supercharge or even turbocharge. Roughly $5000
If you want a v8 you have options available but it gets fairly expensive. Over $10000 if you do the work yourself.
It will be a long time before jeep offers a v8 option if ever.

2009 JKU with 35's and 3.73 gears and flashpaq 87 octane tune
I'm here reading this and sympathizing with you. City I'm at 11-12mpg, highway yields me 13mpg. Winter blend gas with city driving or hauling my 8x10 closed cargo trailer gets me down to 8-10mpg. Yet with just the right tailwind and flat straights I can bump up to 17mpg easy but that's VERY rare. I don't care much for all the extra power of a supercharger or v8, all I want is to regain overdrive which will really help get me some extra mileage and tank after tank the savings will add up quickly. Also the 5.13's I'm leaning towards will surely help when pulling my trailer.

Too many just say yes it helps but don't provide adequaye info as to watch exactly changed for the better. Were you able to hold overdrive, was there any improvement in both city and highway mpg's. How did the gears handle towing trailers or anything else you might tow?

Can you be more specific with your gearing choice before and after , tire size, manual or auto
