Has your overlanding kit been on for the majority of that 4k miles?

That's really good mpg with that stuff on their. Are you lifted and running bigger tires?

2" Mopar lift on stock wheels and tires. 37's and new wheels should be in sometime this week!

Keep us posted on how the 37s effect your mpg please.

Fully loaded Rubicon with a 2 inch Mopar lift, 37 inch BFG KO2's on AEV Borah wheeels and at 81 MPH from Southern Utah to Central Utah (2700 foot elevation to 5700 feet) 22.4 MPG. Vehicle has less than 500 miles on it and never ran stock wheels and tires so I am not able to compare with stock. Stays in 8th gear unless it is a fairly steep incline and then only shifts down to 7th gear for a very short time. This is with the adaptive cruise control set at 81 and the only time it varied more the 1 MPH is when some idiot pulled in front of me or the traffic slowed it down. On level ground current MPG consistantly showed 28-34 MPG. Very impressive torque, ride and MPG for a Jeep!

All depends on where you are.
In Miami for instance a lot of stations dont have Diesel. I have two stations (one by my home and one by my office) where I get Diesel. On the highway all stations have diesel for trucks.
Also, there is an app called Gas Buddy that will show you on a map... also prices.

Thanks for the reminder for gas buddy! I have had the app for awhile....forgot you could filter on gas vs diesel!

Can you share your wheel details? I have the same lift and want to go with the same tires but need to know the offset or back spacing to avoid the suspension rub?

I keep two rotopax on the truck. Here in San Antonio isn't bad, but when I head out to West Texas it gets harder to find a fuel station let alone one that has diesel.
