I just took a weekend trip down to NC and back. Most of the drive was down Hwy 17 south so it was 55 speed limit most of the way. Going down Saturday morning there was a lot of wind blowing and it seems to have affected my mileage. Going down I got 20.4 hand calculated. Coming back on Sunday was a better day with no wind so I attribute that to better mpg. Coming back I got 24.1 hand calculated. The computer was showing 24.4 most of way. I kept the cruise on 58-59 most of the time as well.

My wife's JK is getting damn near Honda Numbers....and besides HONDA BLOWS GOATS with there vehicle styles.
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.

I bought a honda for cheap... 94 accord... 31 mpg avg... keep the miles off my jeep (and soon to be 35" mud terrains) and gives me the fuel economy of champions!

With a stock (except the muffler) auto Rubicon with a HT, I am getting 18mpg with 2300 miles on the clock. 75% of my driving is on a hilly highway (210) with cruise control set at 65. When on level parts of the highway, the tach reads 1.5K rpms. On climbs, it goes up to 3K. I must be the only one who's on board computer matches my manual calculations. I am hopeful that as I get closer to the 6K mile mark, the mpg will get a little higher, but if not, I am happy with 18.
