Today, coming home from college, I set a personal record. I spent the first hour of the trip drafting a truck (at a safe distance) doing approximately 65 mph. After losing the draft, I set the cruise control for 59 mph (a bit slower than I normally would) and just cruised. Working with the mild rolling hills, I was able to get 21.27 mpg on the first leg of the trip. With a slightly less efficient set of highways for the shorter second leg, I got 19.43 mpg.

Overall was 20.7 mpg. Getting over 21 mpg in this beast over a 330 mile run is outright amazing, considering it's rated to get 16mpg highway, and is generally pretty inefficient (way too much engine for the gearing). After pulling this off, I have to say, I love my Jeep that much more. I can't wait to see what I can pull off on the way back to school next weekend.
