Re: TJ Gas mileage ?
I am turning 23-2500 rpm at 70+ mph in 4th gear with 3.31 diffs and
33's. Stock BBD carb, Accel SuperCoil and a straight pipe with a
dynomax muffler on it.
It has been pretty consistent. Even when I had a steel body and 31x10.5
muds I got about the same 11L/100km or 21.4 US mpg.

The TJs are incredibly heavy, though. Jerry B's weighs in at 4100:

Re: TJ Gas mileage ?
I get about 17mpg average in my 99TJ. It's been about the same since I
bought it. I carry about a 100 lbs of gear and run 31x10.50 bfgoodrich
ko's.
If you're on the bubble about whether to buy a jeep or not, do this.
Compute what your other choice of vehicle will get in miles per
gallon. Let's say for example it will get 23 or so mpg. Subtract
say,17mpg of the jeep from the 23mpg of your other choice.In this case
(Your Mileage Really May Vary haha.)
Then figure the cost of losing that 6 mpg per tank every time you
fill up. (based on a 20 gal tank )
I figure you'll be losing about $14.00 per tank based on $2.00 cost of
a gallon of gas. My math ain't that great but I think I'm close. After
you get a number you can work with, figure how many tanks you'll
average per month/year.
If you still want a Jeep after all this, then figure you'll skip
buying that suspension lift, or those new tires, or that Warn winch,
or any of those other fun those accessories for a year or two until
you've amortized the extra fuel expense. ;)
