    I want to share my journey. As some of you know, I’ve been struggling with extremely poor fuel economy numbers since last fall. As the weather got cold, my MPG dropped to 12-13 MPG around town; 15 MPG on the freeway. For reference, my 2018 Sahara is a V6, automatic with a dealer-installed...

    Hi all. I drive an '09 Wrangler JK Unlimited (3.8). In the last week I've experienced a huge reduction in power. It takes a huge effort to reach 60mph with the pedal all the way down on a flat highway, and a massive increase in my fuel consumption which has gone from an average of 16 L/100km...

    Despite our growing appetite for trucks and SUVs, the EPA reported yesterday that the average MPG in the US increased by 0.2 MPG to all-time highs, and looks like we gained another 0.5 MPG in 2018. I think it is no surprise that FCA is dead last. Please refrain from turning this into a...

    I Recently bought a 2008 Jeep JKU sahara and im already loving it. However there are a few things I wish to change. I average about 20-30 miles a day, most of which are on the HIGHWAY. I recently started thinking about purchasing an aftermarket Air Intake system to help increase MPG and throttle...

    10 Years ago I owned a Jeep Cherokee 2.8CRD and fitted a tuning chip which improved mpg from 17 to 22 for short journey town driving. I can not remember the name of the chip and was wondering if there was a good chip that everyone uses now days? Thanks David.

    Hello all, daily drive my 08 Wrangler with 33" tires and 2.5" inch lift and was averaging ~12.5 MPG on a good day.

    So I know when I got my Jeep i was going to have bad mileage but after calculating it twice now, its far worse than expected. When I drove conservatively, I got 11mpg. When I drove without caring, I got 10. When I got 11 I never went over 2000rpm. I don't live in the city, but eve if i did i'd...

    I'm a new Jeep owner and I am trying to find ways to improve my MPG. I have a 2010 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited 4x4 with 35 inch tires and a lift kit. I'm currently getting about 12.5 to 13.5 mpg. Any suggestions?

    Before buying our 2013 JK Sport this past September, we did a lot of research. Because of where we live we needed true 4WD capability, and we didn't want another pickup. For a long time we didn't consider a Wrangler because of things we read and heard. You've heard it all before...

    I see lots of posts of people putting in new gears to compensate for the tire size increase. I haven't been able to find posts about people upping the gear ratios on stock tires and no lift. Seems like doing this should have quite an effect on the stock tire size.. Anyone able to comment? And I...
