  1. Dealer didn’t put oil in after changing filter?

    How then could they use it as a loss leader to upsell?
  2. Whatcha Sippin On?

    You're more than welcome to bring your Gladiator and cigar over for some JW Double Black, lol. If you don't like smoke that stuff might kill you. I used to smoke cigars a lot. Anymore I'm finding them just too much. Would rather rip the filter off a couple cigarettes.
  3. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Most trips are min 30 minutes. I don't conservatively. I hear ya, friend. Been driving for 40 years. Got 26k on the JTRD and every tank has been an experiment in gas mileage. I hand calculate every tank going back 17 years. It's the Jeep, trust me. I think it's parasitic drag somewhere in the...
  4. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Most trips are min 30 minutes. I drive conservatively.
  5. Whatcha Sippin On?

    Round 2 this evening and is going down much better though I primed with 4 goose islands... The taste is much better than the smell. I have a hard time believing the smoke comes from roasting the malt. I would think it'd be much more subtle.
  6. Whatcha Sippin On?

    It was either this or Ardbeg. So far I'm not a fan. It is smooth though. Maybe it'll take a while for the Smoky stuff (JW double black is still nasty.) This is definitely more toned down. I'll give it a chance but so far for now my newbie palate still likes Glenlivet 14 the most. Edit: I like...
  7. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Last fill-up. Light driving. And the regens have finally settled down. Was on the phone and neglected to snapshot the mileage screen to compare with hand calculated.
  8. time to think about re gearing

    Yeah that would actually result in rapid deceleration.
  9. It's been fun

    High trade in. Low purchase price. 0% financing. You hit the trifecta. I'm not looking at all to get out of a Jeep but I definitely find it difficult to walk away from a deal like that. Been wanting to correct a few options from my first order but between the current prices and interest rates...
  10. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Wanted to get down to almost empty but couldn't pass up $4 gal (thanks JB!) Drove it normally this time because the other way had more regens than I'm comfortable with, and went right back to normal MPG (18.4) though it was an uncharacteristically windy week in CFL. Vehicle's estimations were...
  11. Which events are on your list for 2023?

    I hear ya. Jeep Beach is a sight to behold so I go there for a day (and it's close.) As far as people, I bought a Jeep to get away from them, lol. Can't even bring myself to go on a trail ride with any of the local groups.
  12. Which events are on your list for 2023?

    Don't know how this event got missed in the OP. It's pretty frickin huge. April 23-30 https://www.jeepbeach.com/
  13. Am I crazy for thinking I want a Gladiator?

    It's literally the only qualification.
  14. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    This is so disputable from the: mileage lost, which means more drilling and fracking, and more refining, to the manufacturing of all the emissions components, to the shortened lifespan of the engines, not to mention their lubricants, which require more manufacturing to replace prematurely. Is...
  15. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    I've done this a lot to no appreciable effect. The diesel doesn't like to be lugged and that reflects in the MPGs, and backing down a bit on inclines to maintain MPG hasn't helped either. I've found that embracing the load whether it be accelerating to speed or an incline yields far better...
  16. Hyper-miling the EcoD Rubicon Gladiator

    Maybe a grumper will help with the aerodynamics? Hmm...
