I get about 15 in mixed, and 20 highway (if I do the speed limit), if not then like 18.

30 inch tires, 3.73's, AW4/NP231 20-23ish usually hwy.

#1)98xj4.5 LA 33x12.5, 4.56, 190,000mi=15mpg
and
#2)98xj stock, 100,000mi, 235's =15mpg.

I don't know why?
Well I do.
If I had a block under the skinny pedal, I could probably do better.

I drive them both less than 10,000mi. per year total.

2" BB, 31's, 3.55's and an automatic. 20mpg hwy, prob around 15mpg mixed.

I have 3" and 31s. I get not quite 12mpg. However, I'm running renix system with HO injectors. I'm switching soon, we'll see.

With the original engine and 31s, I usually got 16, and I drive like hell. Best I got was 21 on a long highway trip with no front DS.

CSXJ · May 7, 2009

1999, 4.0, Auto
~4-4.5" lift
33's
3.55

11-12 mpg mixed, but pretty much all the time.
