This is from personal experience with over 9000kms on the odo. Edit: i see they say 390 miles or 630kms on a tank. Yeah no.. the system will start yelling at you way before then. I get to around 550kms and the fuel light comes on. I fill up and I get 50 - 60 litres into the tank Theres still a good 15 litres left in the tank. |
Re: Not so Great Fuel Economy for 2013
I have a 2012 jkur with 33's,2.5" lift and 4:11's. I have reset tire sizes with the procal. I can avg 11-12L/100k (24-26 mpg imp) driving 90km on the highway and 14-15 (18-20mpg imp) avg around town. this is taken off the dash. I have a steel wurx bumper with a winch on the front which adds a little weight. I went on a 4000km trip through the blue ridge and smokey mountains last summer with wifey and 2 kids and loaded with gear with the stock rubi tires and no lift. Did mileage by hand and my best tank was 26.4 on the blue ridge parkway where u can only do 60-70 km, and my worst was 18.9 climbing mountains on the interstate. I was driving for gas mileage most of the time ie egg under gas pedal. A 2 mpg increase at 20mpg is 10%, a 2mpg increase at 10 mpg is a 20% increase. I would say the new bigger heavier jeeps are doing ok on the gas mileage side. If u use US mpg my figures drop to 22 and 15.7 but i live in Canada. Now, if i can beat it everyday, put it under water twice and lug it through mud every weekend and still get 250 k on it with no problems like my 87 and 91 inlines, has yet to be seen, and highly unlikely.

17 city / 21 highway...
But those are US figures. my sons 2012 JKU Sahara gets well over 20 on the highway in real life. I think the new 3.6 has made huge gains. :smokin: |
