2014 JKU, 3.73, manual trans, 255/80-17 tires.
18-19 around town, 22-23 rural "highway", ~ 20 interstate speed, 12-16 towing my brick of a trailer.
The odometer is off from the tires. I hand calc using the gps mileage ---- the EVIC is usually pretty close though.

Gas buddy says overall 17.5 MPG during the 33,450 miles the Jeep (2013 JKUR, auto, 3:73 gears) has on it.
this is also with the computer set for larger tires and about 80% of the time, the JK computer is within a .5 MPG

before the larger wheels added 18.5 avg as high as 22 mpg on the highway at 60-65mph

after larger wheels & tires 17.5 mpg, high around 20 mpg, but I have had the time to take it easy and keep the speed down

with trailer loaded (1100lbs) 14-16 mpg, again moving down the road, last trip to central Texas 14.5-16mpg cruising around 70-75 mph most of the time


Tuesday I take off for Alaska with the trail and will keep a record of gas

I'm sure the 70-75 has more of an impact than the trailer. Other than my range between Ft Nelson and Watson (can't make it with the trailer, but can without) I've never really noticed much of an impact when towing... and surprisingly my best tank ever came with the trailer (21 MPG).

My best ever is 26.4 mpg according to the EVIC. This wasn't averaged over the entire trip just a short 30ish miles of 55-60 mph highway. All in 6th gear. My display usually reads about 1 - 1.5 mpg higher than actual so I'd say 25 mpg. I think I averaged 21 mpg for the entire trip mostly between 30 and 60 mph.

Here's the average stats per tank.

My lifted Liberty averages 14-15 on mixed driving. It's been known to get 17 on a full "freeway" tank.

My 4.0L/5spd TJ is getting about 17 in mixed hwy/rural driving. Doesn't seem to make much difference if I baby it or pound on it, but I do keep it under 65 even on the freeway, and that's probably the main reason it does well. In the mountains it seems to get closer to 19 or even 20. (!!) On offroad trips I get 13-15 depending on what I'm doing. Much worse rock crawling, but it doesn't do much of that anymore.

My 2014 Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel gets 25 overall, and over 30 on the freeway. My range on a tankful is pretty good - I can go 500-700 miles on a tankful.

It's stock, and only has 3,500 miles on it so it's not broken in yet.

My 2014 JKUR with lift, tires etc averages about 17.5 according to the EVIC. I recalibrated with a Procal. My driving is mostly slow to 65 with the occasional 80 mph run on the interstate.

85 CJ7 on 33's with 3.31 gears being driven by a 5.3/4L60E combo nets me 22mpg at 65mph. That quickly drops to 18mpg if i go over 70mph. And yes, thats with a calibrated speedo and gps calculations.

05 Rubicon, just went back to stock size 31" tires and stock rims, 2.5" RC lift. 14.9 around town, 16.5 highway as long as it's flatish and I keep is around 65. Knock both those numbers down at least 1 mpg when I was on 33's with steel rims.
