Just wondering what some of you have done to achieve better gas mileage in your 4.0l equipped rig. Obviously there's the basics, good tune up..Plugs, wires, ignition, o2 sensors, everything in proper working order etc.
I'm currently averaging about 13mpg with mixed city/freeway driving. I am well aware that these vehicles are not Honda Civics when it comes to fuel efficiency, however, I believe there is room for improvement.
I'm not necessarily looking to start a "what's your gas mileage" thread, but more a "What have you done to improve your gas mileage" thread. I've seen some people claiming over 20mpg in a 4.0l XJ.
For what it's worth, my Jeep is in very good running condition. Has recently had a full tune up. I have a pacesetter (crap, I know) header, new cat, and high flowing exhaust, 31" tires with stock gears (3.55 I believe).
Also have to take into consideration the different terrain/climates that people live in, that's why I'm more or less not worried about the exact MPG you get, but just what you have done to improve it.
