The motorway is 110km/hr speed limit pretty much the entire distance of 900km. The Jeep was averaging around 15 litres per 100km, the RAM a little under 13. Our 200 series landcruiser on the same trip is 12.
OT. I could do this distance with the ACC set to 110 with my stock JTOD with nearly one tank of fuel (below 8 litres).

Just so im l reading you correct, your claim is that a JT Gladiator is capable of 900km on single approx 70litre tank of fuel?

Given ive had 3 new Pentastar engines in this car and not a single one of then is capable of more than 500-550km, where to achieve 550km id suggest i would have to drive at nothing above 85-95km/hr on relatively flat hwy without any headwind component...i dont believe that your claim is possible in my Gladiator without a much larger fuel tank installed.

I also do not think a 2" lift and 33" tyres would show that much difference in economy.

You are claiming something in the order of about 180% better mileage than mine🤔😳

I didn't buy mine for Gas mileage , I bought mine for off roading , camping,fishing, .. ✅️✅️✅️ , all boxes checked ,matter of fact if anyone on this forum specifically bought a Gladiator for Gas mileage I would be surprised 😂😂 and I would say what they came from then must have been abysmal
