Sounds about right if you're running stock gearing. I see about 200 miles per tank local driving, sometimes less...and about 240 on the highway on 31 MTs.

What's your driving style like? Heavy, light, average? That makes a difference as well...but marginal compared to running 33s or larger without a regear.

...plus, it is a 4.0L V6.

Fixed it for ya :roll:
 
are you compensating for the incorrect speedo? Keep in mind with stock gearing your motor is way out of its power band.

8.25, 3.55's, 265/75/r16's
