Default Hwy Gas miles lower than city

So the first time I took my 07 jk on a road trip it was stock everything and my MPG dropped from 19 in the city to 11 on the hwy and also i had the gas pedal all the way down and it wouldn't go above 70 and going up a hill I'd have to drop
It down into 4th. Any one ever have this problem b4 ? I hope its just someone had a programmer on it me.

If you wanted a highway vehicle that does more than 70mph you bought the wrong vehical. get your foot out of the gas and enjoy the ride

By a 12, I can hit 100 mph with 34's on it. Not that i do it all the time. Seriously if you cant maintain 70 mph you may want to get it looked at.
