On mine the average difference is .4 mpg and my maximum difference was I actually got mpg better. On today's fill up I actually got 21.99 and it showed 22.1 as an example and I do include the tenths of a gallon.

I was getting 24 hwy and 20 around town till I put 285/70/17 10 ply Falken (heavy) tires, now I get 20 at best on hwy and 17.5 in town. I'm whining about it and my wife told me to suck it up, its a jeep. LOL
Her lifted Liberty with 4:10 gears and 10 ply 31.5" tires gets @ 17 freeway.

You are not even broken in yet. I am on my 4th Gladiator with 2 prior being Rubicons with 4.10 gears. You have to drive like Grandpa in Florida to get regular 20+ MPG's but even any considerable wind pushing on you will drop that like a rock.

I’m so used to my previous 2.0 L 2020 wrangler and everybody I talked to was you will get at least 17-20 on the highway I drive 70 on the highway in rural South Dakota and I’m just barely getting 13-14 I’ll give it time I love the vehicle and the tow is great for hauling toys thanks for the response!!

I don't see 20 unless I'm on a country road.

If you drive no faster than 60-65 you will see better mileage .

I have never seen 20 mpg in my 21 Max Tow. I bought it new in 11/21 and currently have about 27,000 miles. It's still stock and I usually get between 17 and 18 mpg highway and 15 mpg city and I am an old man. Granted most of my highway is in NY state with hills and valleys, and city is in NYC.
I was hoping this would be better than the Ram 1500 it replaced but nah.
I still like it better than the Ram though
