Personally I would rather have a Jeep then an import or any other vehicle that gets good gas mileage because they dont make a stinger bumper for a toyota supra, lol.

I was actually thinking about a bike…. but that would just be a terrible Idea for me, even though I am licenced to drive one. But I would rock a smart car… after I lift it and do a jeep lookin body kit,
Yeah!!

I get about 14mpg in the city, and about 17-19 on the highway if i keep it below 65, above that my MPG drops like a rock!! Back when the taco was stock i was able to get about 20-21 mpg on the highway!!! This truck gets pretty good milage considering all the stuff ive done to it. Back when i had my yj i was getting probibly around 10 or 12 around town, and it didnt go on the highway much so i dont know that. That was with 33s 3.07s and the 5spd (well 4spd with those tires and gears lol!!).

The first couple of tanks right after I bought my Jeep (last November) averaged around 8-10mpg on the road. It had some issues. I think it gets around 15mpg these days, and I hope to improve upon that as much as possible for some of the long drives we have to our wheeling destinations.

I enjoy burning all the gas those lame Prius owner's brag saving!
Which reminds me, once I have all my off-road mods complete, I will seriously consider a Hemi conversion.
And Evans is going to help me do it — right Matt?!
Oh and I burned 1/2 tank of gas each way between Home & Badlands.

I burned a half tank as well on each way, but less on the way back, even though it was more sparatic speeds, and not a lot of drafting

Can't do that, too much roof. It's either a Wrangler or staying with Zuks for me.
