    Jeep Gas Mileage

    The Jeep has been getting 10mpg, if i'm lucky i'll get 11. That's city driving with the a/c off(it's cold). I talked to my cousin and he said he's getting 16-18 in his tj (97) with 33" tires.

    I have read about cracked exhaust manifolds in the 4.0's but my year had a 2 piece that is less likely to crack.

    Jeep guys, what mpg are you getting? Know of anything to fix this?

    I'm no jeep guy, but I suggest only driving downhill or more preferably off a cliff.

    Is your cousins a manual vs yours an automatic?


    Is your cousin someone retarded who isn't that good at math?

    It's a rubicon, isn't it? 4.10 gears on it if that's the case. Something with your emissions could be out of whack. Or it's just getting old and it likes to eat gas. Also very dependant on how you drive. And i know you drive like a jack ass. So considering that, ten isn't very surprising.

    Put one of these on it. With the extra power you'll use less fuel. Hurry, there's only 34 minutes left!

    Have you tried the basic tune-up stuff? How many miles on each? Maybe your cousin drives like an 80 year old, whereas you drive like an Asian lady. Could be lots of reasons, including just ****ty math amplified by inaccurate gauges due to larger tires.

    Start with the basic **** and go from there. In my '98 with the Auto, 3.07s and 33s, I got about 13 hwy or city.

    check for fuel leaks with a lighter.

    Seriously I got around almost 15 in town and 18 on the highway when the jeep was stock. I can't tell you what I got with the 33's because I stoped calculating mileage around that time
