Just thought of this one when thinking about my last stuck. You know you drive an xj when its one in the morning, burried to the rockers, don't have enough tow straps to reach you, nobody is willing to try to get their truck closer, the one guy there with a winch offers a pull and you have to seriously consider the offer because its on a TJ.

that's terrible guys...something is wrong with how your engine is running if you're getting mpgs that low, regardless of lift/tires

16 gets me 270 miles. Something is very wrong with your Jeep. Even on stock gears and 37s it shouldn't be that bad

Something has always been wrong with my rig, but it runs like a raped ape and I've replaced almost every sensor and close to all of the ignition and fuel delivery system.

If youve got bigger tyres and stock gears the mpg measure will be out anyway
I get 120KM to $50 worth of gas regardless on if Ive got the stock tyres on or the 32s

I just filled up with some of my 96 octane. I've never actually ran it long enough to test MPG but I'll see now.
