Wow... you guys are driving a Prius compared to mine.
2012, 4.10s auto 2dr.
Original rims with 315/70/17 MTs.
Superchips Speedo calibration for the bigger tires and reg octane tune
AEV front and rear bumpers, winch, 3"lift, engine/tranny skid, and probably other stuff adding weight
70/30 city driving... 16-17L/ 100km
In the winter it hits as high as 21 !!

 

2008 3.73 auto Superchips 91 octane tune 70% highway on 35" Pitbulls 12.5-13.5L/100K.. Running overdrive OFF (equivalent final drive to 5.13 gears).

 

It's a way of life. Some people buy a Jeep to look or feel cool. We just USE and ABUSE! MPG factor is NOT a factor.

Enjoy.

Don't forget to WAVE.

 

Except that it is, because if your getting better fuel mileage you can go further between fill ups. You can save money at the pump to buy upgrades, you generally feel better about reducing your carbon footprint so that when you go out into the woods or drive on a nice trail, everything around you remains green and not dead.

You seem to be missing the idea being "the way of life", get with the times.

 

Buy a Prius. YOU seem to be missing THE way. Carry on and be happy.

 

Im getting 13-13.5 L/100 km.but sometimes the guage will skyrocket to156 L and slowly work its way back down to normal. Its happened on and off a few times over the summer. Its a pain to take it in because it doesnt do it all the time, has any body else experience this?

 

Probably happened after you filled up, reset the gauge, then sat in the lineup at Tim Hortons. The computer calculates how far you've just driven and how much fuel you've used...even if it's just sitting there idling.

 

Aardvark,

I've experienced the same type of readings after a similar situation as described by zrs.
In my case, I had fueled up and got back onto the highway and quickly hit construction which caused some stop and go traffic for about 5 kilometers.
The computer identified very high readings, but then dropped back down, similar to what you observed.
Keep an eye on it though.

 

Thanks guys.I gotta pay more attention to the circumstances around when it occurs. I don't want to take it in for nothing. I already had it in for a improperly sealed windshield and also when the computer was throwing a code-oil pressure sensor running hot( warranty work)

 

Aardvark,

I always recommend keeping a log of different issues over the course of period.
Sometimes you can find the common denominator and determine what is happening.
