Consistent with my stock Willys Diesel. Pure city I am around 22-23 as well.Stock Willys (not a rubicon but still with 32ā tires no lift) Iām averaging 23 city, 28 highway. Got 29 mpg driving back from Atlanta to Florida this weekend at 80 mph. Diesel here is only $0.01 more than regular unleaded. Love this thing.
This is my experience. Quite a disappointment between that and the way the vehicle randomly detunes itself when I want it the most, but at least I've got that diesel payment!Here's my advice: Go to Fuelly.com and look at the data there. It's hand calculated and takes out all the "I get 30 MPG on 37s!" lies you find on the internet.
As of right now, if we combine JL and JT EcoDiesels nationally, with hundreds of thousands of miles totalled, it looks like the average is 21.7 MPG.
My personal average over the last six months is 19.7 MPG. Granted I have 295/70R18 tires.
So realistically you're looking at low 20s stock on a daily commute with the diesel.
Are you factoring in the fact that it takes 5 more gallons to fill up the gasser then the diesel? so the cost to fill up is less as well as the frequency to fill up which makes it even less?Iād love a diesel as even 22mpg on 35/37ā tires is a dream come true.
I suppose though at 16 Iām only 6 under that or about 120 miles less per tank. Works out to be about 7.5 gallons more needed per tank. At 3.30 a gallon thatās rounded up to $25 a tank. 2x a month and Iām at $600 a year more in gas. Would take about 6 years for break even +-
All that being saidā¦if I could do it again Iād get the diesel. Factor in regearing cost on a 3.6 and it shortens the payoff to 2 years.
