Jeep!!! Nice work. There are still gains to be had but adjusting the nut is the cheapest! Seriously it isn't easy getting a couple extra MPG from a rolling brick.

Probably controversial, but I throw out any tankful that I've been wheeling the ZJ. My reasoning is nobody is wheeling their high MPG cars, and honestly, my only concern for mileage on the trails is point A to point B without a 5 gallon can. But it is fun to tell folks my Jeep can get 20+MPG...

I changed jobs recently, jumped out of my carpool for a van pool. I just filled the tank of the Jeep for the first time in 5 weeks!!!! Still the same distance though, 100 miles roundtrip, but 4 day weeks. So I really haven't kept track of mileage on the Jeep lately.

So, more details of the Jeep...

And always, thanks for your service...
