MPG in the Texas Heat

[DaveFrat]

I think you should realistically expect 18-19mpg with your setup if your highway/city mix is 70% or more to the highway (not interstate). Of course your's should be considerably lighter than mine that is tipping the scales at approx 5,700lbs now! I took a trip to Colorado, 2500+ miles total and wheeled for five days. Mix of wheeling, 65mph highways, and 80+mph Interstate and averaged 17.7MPG with that weight. I can see Overlands with stock street tires and no lift averaging over 20 consistently but not a Rubicon or Sport Max Tow if you build it a bit and actually have fun driving!!

My overland with only upgraded to 33’S and I barely manage 17. That is including to extended road trips. My 16 JKU got me 20 with the same 33’s.
