I'm stock and average 16 on crappy winter gas, 18 on good summer gas. One time I got 21. My mileage seems to get worse when I drive like a grandpa.

Tetanus just makes the bond between a man (or bopeep) and his (or her) Jeep that much tighter.

Nahh, not barefoot(well not all the time) Though it's pretty bad when you can feel the sticks poke you through the carpeting when your wearing heavy boots. lol

I take pride in the fact that my XJ gets better mileage than my work van.
And I gave up worrying about mileage in the work van long ago, cuz it doesn't really matter...

You know you drive an XJ when you know who works what day and what shift at the gas station, and know all of them by first name. And they know to prepay $60 to pump 1 when I roll up.
