The trip averaged 23.8 and 24.8 mpg respectively each way, but with the in town driving and I think the pump registered more than it actually gave me as there was still at least two or three gallons in my tank. With the exception of this last tank, I haven't had to recalibrate the scangauge with each tank hardly at all so it's my belief that it's being genuinely accurate, just that last fillup threw me off.... by all rights (and with a few aeromods) I'll make that 30mpg highway yet! Next year I have to drive from WA to GA, so my goal is to mod this Jeep enough to make that drive at aforementioned mpg.

what have you done to get that kind of mileage, my son has a 1990 XJ and he only gets about 15 mpg
