FYI rubicons have 4:10's. On a side note my rubi that had no lift and 35's got better gas mileage then my wife's bone stock Sahara. |
Re: Gas mileage Baddd
They got them in 07 and not in 08. I know this because I owned two 08 saharas. Both with tow package and 3:73's.
I was just stating that the rubi came with 4:10's not what the post before me stated. |

Nothing is going to help with gas mileage enjoy the Jeep:)

Re: Gas mileage Baddd
I have a 2011 Sahara Unlimited with 3.73, 6-speed. I drive ~ 99% city. I am getting 15-16 liters per 100 km. So the mileage that you reported is very low. And you mentioned that your rubi has better mileage than the sahara - interesting.
My suggestion is that change your morning idle from 15 minutes to 30 seconds. Put on the coats and gloves. Check the mileage again in the next fill up. |
Re: Gas mileage Baddd
cold idling is apparently bad for modern engines, it will warm up quicker being driven

Re: Gas mileage Baddd
Definitely a cold weather issue.. I get 13.1-13.8 l/100klm (17-18mpg) mixed with my 08 Sahara with 3.73 A/T running OD off, 3.5" lift, 35" Pitbulls, and Superchips programer. The programer will make a big difference and allow you to run premium gas properly. I cancelled my 12 Ruby order because I like the way the programer works.. I test drove a 12 and was happy to get back in my 08.. However, I do like the new 5sppd A/T trany..

When I order mine (6spd) I could get it with 3:73's (default was 4:10's) but the Auto comes standard with the 3:73's unless you specifically order it with 4:10's. I'm getting 21 MPG (UK) on my JKUR with 4:10's and hope to get better when it's broken in a little more. So, what's that in L/100kms? 12 or so? |
Re: Gas mileage Baddd
Replies here indicate that non of the ratios are firm and you can pretty well get what you want in many of the Jeep models.
I too am old enough to still use mpg over km/l. Most of the new Jeeps have both available in the readouts and you are able to jump back and forth with a button. My 2011 Sport only has 6500kms on it and I can feel it starting to loosen up and getting better gas mileage as it does. As I mentioned in another reply that I have changed all fluids to Synthetic and I believe that is letting it run smoother. 21mpg is about 13.5 l/100km |
Re: Gas mileage Baddd
That's brutal, I get around 12L/100 Km mixed driving with winter tires on my 2011 Sport; I have the 3:21 diff and 6 speed manual and am ereasonable on the go pedal most of the time.

Too bad it wasn't MPG ( UK ) for us here in Canada. |
