Ok, so heres the deal. Alot of threads I read have people asking about what MPG they may expect from different tire/gear combinations. I know other mods and vehicle condition and what type of tires you run has an impact on this as well, but leaving that out, I want to start a thread where anyone and everyone posts what tire/gear combination they run and what avg mpg they are getting. I also want to keep track of if its an auto or 5 speed and what engine is being run. Then from time to time I will make/update a spreadsheet with the averages for each tire/gear combination that gets posted here, keep one chart for all Jeeps (with the same engine), one for all automatics, and one for all 5 speeds. Then when I get enough going, I will post the sheet I get made, and as more people post responces I will update and repost as necesary or requested. If possible, leave the tire size, gear ratio, the year, transmission, and engine you are running along with your avg fuel economy and I will see what I can do to get a chart with all the info in it so this question can be answered once and for all in a single location, and not have it be based on theoretical values.
Along the same lines, feel free to also leave your opinion of the tire/gear combination. I will keep a running list of everyone who posts and organize either by tire size or gear ratio, so anyone who wants to know how a certain combination will be can pull this up as well and see what people have said. Just trying to clear up a couple of the major questions that always seems to overload this thread (and I will admit, I am guilty of asking the same questions before too).
If people want this i would be glad to do it, just post here and get others to post here, and keep this thread active so people will see it and go with it. The more I get the better it will be. And for accuracy purposes, it would be great if all measurements could be made based on testing it, dont just guess... I will try and get a 2nd post up soon with what to multiply the miles recorded by the odo by in order to get actual miles traveled (for those of us who havent corrected the speedo/odo) if anyone wants.
