I remember seeing a lot of posts about gas mileage not being that great in the jeeps , but I am quite happy with what I am getting. I just did a road trip of about 300 miles , doing an average of 75-80 miles an hour.Looking at my computer during the trip , my average was 21 MPG , and with the economy mode , it was hitting as high as 30 MPG.This is quite good for a full time 4x4 , although of course the in town mileage is nowhere as good.I still have to do some testing with in town driving to see what i get. I did do a few minor mods to the truck , giving myself an extra 5-7 HP or so , nothing too major , but am happy with my results so far..

I would like to up the power a little and the torque for towing , and was interested in the kenne bell or vortech superchargers , but of course neither company has them available anymore , so I might go with roller rockers , new intake , bigger TB , and headers , which should up the HP by maybe 20 or so.Of course this will affect the mileage , but I can live with that..

A lot of the posts I saw were saying the highway MPG was around 15-16, which is what I estimate I get for city driving.Anyone else have some numbers to compare the highway and see if I am above average or about average?
