Who's got my fuel mileage beat?

[Rusty PW]

Got you all beat. This past weekend. I spent 3 days at Rausch Creek offroad park doing the trails there. The best I did was 3.9 mpg for the 3 days.

Sport S Max Tow. This is my normal without doing anything to try and make higher. Took this pic first thing in the morning when I got in the car in my insulated garage. This mileage is with commuting back and forth to work every day and running errands on local roads. AC on full set to low 70s since temperatures in mornings are in the 80s way early and are over 100 degrees by noon. It is split highway and local.

I have your exact setup (but dark gray) with brake controller installed as well. How are you getting this mpg? I am at 17.2 with a mix of highway and normal road. I always thought the 4:10 gear was what was messing with my MPG, but would love to know any tricks? Thanks for any help!

Normally, I average about 21 mpg when watching the gauge and around 19 when I don’t.
My best was last summer on a 4k mile round trip from Tennessee to Montana - in my 3.6 gas Overland loaded with camping gear: 25.2 mpg.

That's probably a solid 80% of the community here

Is that implying that us millennials somehow don’t have “fuel mileage”, or that we don’t care?

Man, at $5.30 a gallon I’m driving like Mrs. Daisy is in the back.

On average, it’s not great. 18-19. I get 16-17 around town, but I do a decent amount of road trips and get 21-22 hwy. Last summer, I was regularly seeing 22-23. That was because I set the cruise on 75. Now I go 80 because I always need to be in three places at once.

2020 Overland 3.6l/8 speed. 285/70/18s on Rubicon take off suspension so basically stock.

14-15 mpg here. Sometimes I get lucky to go down hill or get the wind to my back and I can get a smidge higher… I’m gonna have to regear soon lol

I don't even know how ya'lls mileage is possible? What tire size do you have? I'm between 14-15 mpg at best and I purposely been driving slow to make it to that number

Stock Mojave except for front/rear bumpers have been replaced and a winch up front. Driving between Nashville, IN. to Bloomington, IN very hilly and lots of curves . Reset and this is what got at about 36 miles between the two towns . And 2nd pic overall on highway going a average 75~80 mph.

I'm 100% stock, burning alcohol free gasoline. I use cruise control a lot. I also been babying the heck out of it to see what is the best mileage I could get. I'm not a fan of driving like a half blind little old lady with 5 pill a day xanax habit, but I just wanted to see what was the best MPG I could get. Usually I'm around 16MPG. ?

I have just been keeping an all around average of 18mpg. I have the 4.10 gears also. I try not
to go over 70mph on the highway. The Wind is a huge factor for me. These vehicles are not aerodynamic at all! If I have a head on wind I will go slower than 70mph or I will be getting
about 15mpg or less. I have not towed anything yet, but that gas mileage will be horrible I'm
guessing. It doesn't matter, this is just what it is.
