So I want to start a new thread where those who have upgraded their JT's to larger than factory sized tires can post their MPGs and range. Though those running completely stock or just with nonfactory tires/wheels should also post. It will be a one stop thread for all info regarding this subject. Should also prevent recurrent, "What's you MPG?" questions.
I know Smiles per Gallon etc. I get it. I actually don't care about the financial part that much. My reasoning is I plan to use this for an overland vehicle. I have an ecodiesel WK2 that I love the range on. So I'm really trying to decide (like many are) is the increased power and range of the diesel, but likely worse (though still unkown) reliability of the gen 3 ecodiesel, worth waiting for compared to the decreased range and power of the gas engine (though more history showing good reliability).
I plan on doing a lot of cross country trips on 37"s with gear, so If I'd getting a range of less than 300-350 miles with the gasser, but >400 with the diesel then it's worth it ( assuming both have 22 gal tanks).
This is not to debate on merits of gas vs diesel (cost, reliabilty etc.). This is to give myself and those wanting to run larger tires an idea of what to expect. And potentially the MPG/Range difference is between gas or diesel (once released).
Pictures are highly encouraged.
I'd like it to be fairly standardized.
Jeep year & trim: (Rubicon, Overland, Sport)
Mileage: (XXXXX)
Engine: (3.6 pentastar, 3.0 ecodiesl, Future options)
Fuel type: ( 87 octane, 89 octane, biodiesel, etc)
Lift: (stock, Mopar 2", Metalcloak 3.5, etc)
Tire size and model: (37x12.5R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers)
Diff gearing: (3.73, 4.10, 4.88 etc)
Tuned?: (yes/no which ones)
Other add-ons: (Supercharger, aftermarket turbo, CAI, etc.)
Tire PSI: ()
Speedometer recalibrated? (yes/no)
EVIC or hand calculated?:
Local driving conditions: ( Flat, hilly mountains, sea level, altitude, towing, highway, city)
Average MPG:
Anything else of interest.
