JK Mileage
« on: July 02, 2011, 08:02:39 AM »
I'm thinking about trading the Yellow Rubi in on a JK 4door, and I'm wondering what to expect for mileage?
Anyone wanna post up?

I'm running 32s on my WK with the new 4.7 and I'm averaging 17.5L / 100k. That is pretty well all city driving and I have a heavy foot.

I decided long ago that I wasn't go to pay all that much attention to mileage on my JK. That said, I generally get MUCH longer range when wheeling/running back roads with guys that have comparably built TJ's. When they're dumping in fuel from their Jerry cans to make it back to the gas station, I'm generally sitting with at least 1/3 of a tank.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Yeah once you start buying Jeeps and wheeling you really have to just stop crunching those number.  They are a pupose built vehicle and mileage isn't it's purpose.

i agree it's not a priority but I track it for the hell of it and I got 18.1 l/100km overall average for the first 6600 km.  Mine is a 2 door with 35's.
