Hi

Is anyone else getting bad fuel consumpton. When I first got the car two weeks ago I was averaging 14.8-15.2 L/100Km and now a week later the computer is telling me I am getting an average of 18.0-18.2 L/100km.

Now I know the Jeep is heavy etc, and my driving habits haven't really changed all that much but wow. My old Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 litre is getting 17.5 L/100km.

Any thoughts

 

The computer is typically wrong. Best to hand calculate the mileage. I typically get 380-410 miles per tank. This is in a 4dr Sahara with 32" BFG MT's.

 

holy crap that is good

 

Anyone with decent math skill want to break this down into miles per gallon? Or should we just keep speaking French? I DON"T UNDERSTAND FRENCH!

 

I used this site and came up with 18L/100KM equals 13.07MPG

Can anyone verify

Ouch - 13 MPG IS pretty terrible...

2 things:

1) Your engine will wear-in over time, and your fuel economy will improve (to a point).

2) Do not call a Jeep a "car" - doing so is a big "NO-NO" on this site (and in general).

 

i GET A WOPPING 14, with 35's and 4.10's.

 

It sounds about right to me. I'm getting 13mpg in the city and 20mpg on the highway. Once, just once, I got 403 miles to a tank of gas. I wish that would happen more often.

 

I would love to get 14. I only get 11 with 31's & 4.10's. 16 mpg on highway.

 

I am getting about 17 on medium length trips. ~ 10-15mi each way, some hiway, some biway.
