just seems strange about the variability we have going on here. It could be some are driving more uphill driving than straightaways or downhill.
I use mine for commuting so I am keeping an eye on driving slow. Once it is in 4th though, it moves along...but those first few gears...well, i can see how some would dump on it...heck, i am tempted to

I'm all stock X with S package and averaging 19mpg, I commute to work and maybe an 1/8th of that is highway. The rest is curvy rolling terrain but not huge hills.

Ditto, would likely see no benefit if not a drop. If I take my hard top off I eliminate a decent amount of weight but my MPGs go down noticeably.

I'm with VaMan. I usually have the panels off and windows down. It seems to lose me about 1-2 mpg. It's kinda like towing a parachute. I'll be interested to see what it's like with the rest of the top off and later the doors.

If you can keep it under 65 on the highway makes a big difference in your mpg than over 65 it seems to me.
I once read a while back you get your best mpg at 45 mph.

Wife's JK with 6500km still gets 19 USMPG City and highway 23 USMPG. This is running on 33 sneakers with 3:73, 6 speed. I am still why this JK is getting Honda Numbers....NEVER expected these numbers....but I will take them when gas is $1.28/liter or $4.87/Gallon.

Of course she also only gets about 18mpg out of her Lexus ES 300.
