was knocking this around with the guys at work:

I am taking a long drive out west from the DFW area in my 2001 Grand
Cherokee...do some 4 wheeling in Sedona and Vegas....

The question is, do you get better gas milage out of a half tank of gas vs a
full tank and the added weight thus of...this considering I will have
changed the oil, new air filter and adjust the tire pressure before leaving
out...

Thanks all you great minds of Jeep owners.......

I really don't notice much if any mileage difference running empty or
full on either of my Jeeps. I recently checked my CJ7 fully loaded for
camping and got as good as any time I have ever checked, 11 L/100 km.
Now running at different speeds....
