How much did the 20" wheels add to your unsprung weight? Also, was the 3" exhaust tuned to the correct back pressure? Your stated mileage is pretty low, and those two changes might not be the entire reason, but they're not helping.
Also, what was your mileage before you added new wheels and exhaust?

Same mpg before exhaust and exhaust add a tiny torque atleast.
Never weighed the 20+tires and never tried the stock rims.
Nitto tera grappler 275/55/20 its not that heavy i guess its just a/t?
Some forum jeeper advice to change apark plugs, clean theottle body , change fuel filter, and clean fuel lines.
I tried 95 and 97 octane still the same nothing happen. We dont have 87 and 91 in the philippines

Doing the spark plug change etc. is not a bad idea. I did mine at 150,000 km and it made no difference, but at least there is maintenance happening. Did you retain the catalytic converter with the new exhaust? I had a plugged up cat on a GMC Suburban that killed the performance and mileage. Not cheap. Does it seem to be running ok?

It is possible that the Jeep factory 87 octane engine tune is not working well with your higher octane fuel. A tuner like the SuperChips will at least allow you to tune for 93 octane.

He's in the Philippines so the cold isn't a factor. It is here though. Winter gas and idling to warm up kills it. Filled up today and calculated 13 mpg (17.9 L/100km in canadianese). can't do anything about it. It's -31 here today.
