There was never any doubt.
You're one of the few I actually believe

98, 4.0, AW4, 3.55's, 4" lift, 31's, corrected speedo.... I get 12-13 city, 15-16 Highway. I am alittle heavy on the gas, but even when I baby it it doesnt seem to matter much. Its been tuned, O2's replaced, Seafoamed, T-body cleaned and slightly opened up, trans fluid and filter changed, new cat and Dynomax cat-back....It runs strong and smooth.

I dont want to call anyone a liar, but I have a hard time believing some of the numbers posted here. I think I could do alittle better with some tweaking here and there but, cant see how I could get a significant jump to some of the numbers posted here on similar setups. Guess Im just jelious.....

I have a '00 XJ with 57k, 6.5" long arm, 33" MTR's, 4:10's w/lockers. Corrected speedo/odo. I do a lot of around town driving (moderate traffic lights, averaging 45mph in between lights....12 miles on way to work) and I filled up and calculated my mileage this morning. I averaged 17mpg. I'm never in a hurry to get anywhere, so I'm not romping the accelerator. My mileage actually went UP 2 mpg with the 10% ethanol. Wierd.

Highway, if I stay around 65mph, I average 20mpg. Over 65 and mileage takes a dump.

 

[99NCXJ]

mine has 6.5" lift w/ 33's but still has stock gearing...3.55 I'm only getting about 12 in the city

i get about 17-18 mpg when i use good fuel. if i fill up with am/pm it's much worse. 33's 4.56's , locker, 5 speed, banks header, flowmaster 50 series. my jeep weighs alot too about 4600 pounds. it depends on how i drive the tach. if i keep it under 2500 in 5th gear i'm at about 70. that's plenty fast for me in the jeep. over 2500 and it starts eating gas. when it was bone stock the best i ever saw was around 20mpg. also when i changed from 33x12.50's to 10.50's i saw an increase in mileage.
