If I wasn't driving I wouldn't believe it.

I drove from Tempe, AZ to Nutrioso, AZ with about 50 stops yesterday. Round trip was about 600 miles. I averaged 27.6 MPG. I drive a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon that is pretty much stock. This is through mountains or hills of Arizona. I usually get about 21-22 mpg, but recently it jumped up to 25-26 for some reason.

I find this amazing.

I've seen that in my Overland (6/19 build).

On a trip from S.E. PA to upstate Michigan and back last Memorial day, I averaged just over 26 MPG. There was a stretch where I saw (calculated) 22 MPG but, that was in Michigan where the speed limit was 75 vs 70 everywhere else.

I set the cruise at 70, kick back and relax and just roll on.

Wow, that’s incredible. I feel like even 19-20 mpg is amazing for a brick shaped truck. Did you confirm with hand calculations?

Who cares about the fuel cost. You buy the diesel for the torque, the mpg is a bonus.

Might want to state that at the beginning. And how much more was diesel than unleaded?
I bought the diesel for the driving pleasure... I am just amazed that any engine can get this mileage in this vehicle.

My wife might object to that...
