Mpg's way off?

[Jeeperjamie]

Man I sat in a drive through for like 40 freakin minutes today and now my MPGs are way off. I might have to get rid of this JT now. Any thoughts? I'm crushed! Running 37 12.5 17 kanati trail hogs with 3-1/4 inches of lift, a few add ONS, Max tow what gives. I normally average 17+

That's a possibility, I mean I do got a 2020 and they are known for having problems according to things I've read only on this forum from others. I mean after almost 70,000 miles you think I may have gotten a lemon

I would stay away from that drive through.

We all know the cause - the aux battery.

With that 777 on display, I'd expect a bunch of quarters to start coming out of the dash.

If I was you, I'd put the beer away. I mean, sitting in a parking lot for 40 minutes expecting your fries and burgers to be delivered?

I would but it's gonna be tough. I was looking at 4.5 inch lift kits earlier and I tossed a couple things in the cart at Extreme terrain and then my dude emailed me a discount code And one thing led to another and we'll I'm probably gonna pull the trigger in the am. I'm gonna be broke and Taco Bell will be the diet, the line was not worth it.

If you’re used to 17+ and you’re showing 16.9 after sitting in a 40 min drive through, you’re just splitting hairs dude. Nothing here to worry about, ..it’s just a bad dream.

Man ,I didn't think about the AUX battery, dang I'll bet that's it. I think I'll run by AutoZone in the morning and have them check it. I mean you know they are like certified mechanics that t work there and when I took my BMW by there on Monday to get the Alternator checked the girl almost couldn't figure out how to work the machine and then when she did she said, "I think the alternator isn't charging right". I mean you got the thing there to tell ya, what do mean you think it's not charging right. Had to go in and get someone else to tell me. Yep, I'll take it by there tomorrow.

Just thinking out loud here but you guys think if I throw a Cold air intake on And straight pipe my jeep or toss on some sort of high performance muffler, that I can maybe get back those .4 mpg's I lost. I mean I've read on this forum and on other forums where guys have gotten 2 or 3 mpgs back doing those mods. I already got the bed cover which gave me some serious Mpg gains, I'm guessing and I'm no engineer here but probably .000002 mpg gains there with the bed cover. Totally why I bought a bedcover to gain mpg's, I mean it had nothing to do with keeping my stuff in the bed of the truck dry, who does that.

Need to trade it for a Prius or something similar that you can park between the lines a little better.
You obviously have steering issues too.

Think you picked the wrong vehicle. You should get an EV.

The key here is to change the tire size setting to ensure it is larger than your actual tire, therefore your jeep thinks you're traveling further than reality, so it will bump your MPG's, happy jeeping! /s
