[Brendan_91XJ]

DD-91 144K, 4.56G, 33"T... I got 15.4 mpg on the last tank
that is with CA summer formula, i seem to get better mileage with this wersus the winter formula, which is closer to 12-14mpg

17-18 mpg mostly city
Full tank on the highway last year 24 mpg, but that was before all the motor mods.
Haven't had a trip on the highway yet with all the motor mods.
All in all I am happy with it I can't ask much more out of a big brick on wheels.

My dad is jealous he has a 2003 V6 Izuzu Rodeo. The best he has gotten is 15 :moon:

 

[boise49ers]

14-16 mpg. 4.56 w/34s. 2.90 a gallon. Been using my truck and saving about a mile a gallon

 

[boise49ers]

87 with 230k it has 33's and 373 gears. i get from 14 to 16 mostly highway miles. I have a roof rack with my tire on top, Big wind drag. Wondering when i go to 35's if i should gear to 4.56 or 4.88 ? for the best milege....

Go 4:88s John. With 35s that'll be perfect. Guys running 35s and 4:56 are just a little under powered. You might think about jumping into the 5s too. If you get the commute rig like you said I'd go 5.13. Of course that is provided you get the 44 for the front like you want. If your gearing for the 30 , 4.88. Being under powered and trying to get over something sucks and is a little embarrassing. I learned that with my 4hi run I did last week. People probably thought I was sporting 34s with 3.07s or something. Nope just an idiot crawling in 4hi.

 

[mybadxj]

i get 18-19 with 33s and 410s with a 5sp in my 88, running gear all stock

 

[ChuckD]

It's a no brainer for me and not just the cost of gas.

I purchased a 1990 Corrolla and it gets 30 MPG, but even better, tires are only $25 ea and they last for 50k. My MTR's maybe last 30k and are over $150 a pop, I bought the tires for offroad use not DD use.

 

[Darky]

I'm seein like 12-14 city and my mods aren't that extensive. I think I have a gas leak near the rear though, so that's likely not helping anything...When stock and on 235/75s I saw 22 highway, 15-18 city. On the last big trip I took, I saw 16 highway

 

[Shomsky462]

well now that i have put 2 massive dents in my gas tank it fills up at around $45 after i drive for a whie on empty.

33's with aw4 and 3.55's ide say pretty bad gas milage though

 

[Bent]

'01, 33s w/ ~6" lift, AW4 and 4:88; I won't check the numbers. The stock MJ seems to get good milage, though, I'd feel safe to check into it. But I won't.

 

[GSequoia]

If I were you Tim I woudln't check the numbers on the XJ - with those 26" wide tires it's gotta do a number on it!

 

[bigjohnson69]

in town 18-19; highway - ?

I have been getting 18-19 in town with 3" lift, 31" BFG Rugged Trails, 5 speed, 3.07's

Before I got the Lift / wheels / tires / I got 25 mpg on highway with stock everything.
