Our two 97TJ's with 2.5's and 5 speeds, soft top, 30x9.50's with the
correct spedo get 20-21 local, 22 hiway, downside is having to use 3rd
uphill on the interstates.
Our 93YJ 2.5 gets 20 around town, hard top 5speed. My 98XJ 4.0L 5speed,
LT235 BFG AT/KO's gets 21-23 in my morning 32 mile commute from the
poconos to allentown pa on the turnpike at 80mph, 2200rpm 5th gear,
reverse in the evening.... it needs a tune up, skipped it last year and
it shows, used to get 24mpg. Mobil-1 engine oil, Mobil-1 atf in TC,
Mobil-1 Gear oil in AX15 and front diff, drydene in the rear with it's
auburn LSD...I also run my tires at 40lbs.
