I've got a 95YJ, 5 sp, 4 cyl, soft top. My wife has a 94YJ, 5 sp, 6
cyl, soft top. I drive 135 miles a day back and forth to work. No
matter which Jeep I take my mileage is in the vicinity of 21 mpg.
No performance mods made to either Jeep.
At about $1.899 a gal(yesterday, tomorrow, who knows?)that's $277 a
month.
