I bought it because I enjoy it. It'll be nice to know about what to expect though.

2013 Rubi 2-door hard top w/4:10's. AEV 2.5" lift, 17" AEV Pintlers with 35" Duratracs. I drive 100 miles per day and the dash sits between 19.5 and 20 mpg. I don't bother with hand calculation....don't care enough about what I get.

If I remove the doors, I'll dip into the 18's. I get a lot if turbulence without the doors!

I don't know how y'all do it. I average 15mpg and nothing seems to change that. I had a leveling kit and 35s. Now I have 3.5" RK kit on 37 A/Ts and I still get 13 in town and 17 on the highway.
2011 4dr 4.10 gears

2013 JK 2 door manual, 2.5 budget boost, regeared to 4.56 with 35s. After re-calibration, my trip computer reads 20.1 mpg consistently, but my gas station math puts me at 18/19 mpg avg for the tank. Not bad at all, considering my commute is all side streets.

Light acceleration, shifting at 2k and proper hypermiling techniques are very effective. Luckily my main commuting street is sych'd at 45 mpg, so I can anticipate the lights and coast effectively. I want to see what I can do without the A/C blasting all the time, but by then I'll be back to winter blend gas and the mpg will drop.

Oh well.
