Gas Mileage?

[davered00ss]

I'm thinking about a 2021 Gladiator Rubicon. I have heard mixed reviews about the gas mileage. Living in New England with hills, and windy roads, I know we get less gas mileage than other areas of the country. Just wanted to see what everyone was getting locally before making my decision.

Mojave 15-21 depending on time of year ... I have MT tires ... I only see 19+ if under 60MPH ... It degrades quickly as you drive at higher speeds ...

Rubi will be pretty much the same. They both have either A/T or M/T tires and added weight.

If you go diesel, plan on never getting less than 20mpg stock. If you lift/add larger tires, you’ll drop to 19 city.

Something magical/detrimental happens when you get past 60~65mph. Your mileage falls off steeply.

See my average below. While it is not a Rubi it does have take-off Rubi wheels and tires and 4.10 gears courtesy of the Max Tow package. I also live in Northern NV which is one of the most mountainous areas of the country with plenty of wind.

Cruise control does wonders for MPG

35x11.50R18 3.73 2.5" lift and I got 22mpg on a 140 mile trip.

I'm seeing a pretty consistent 17.5mpg on my hilly backroad commute on my Sport, I'd expect the Rubicon to be a little lower due to the heavier tires.

At least it runs on regular, my old Ram was around 13/14 on midgrade.

I'm pretty consistent at 21-24mpg with an all time average of just right around 22mpg on a stock Sport S with highway tread tires. Although, I drive this like I'm going to church on Sundays and I left an hour before I needed to get there.

2021 Willys here. standard with MT tires. I've been getting right around 22 mpgs her in NH.
