well got through my first tank, not so good probably 15mpg.

but i did finally get my bluetooth obd adapter to work with the jeep; the torque app is currently reading 17.5-18mpg not too bad for what little i've done.

i will say two(considering one doesn't answer questions) of the posters in this thread, have made me question where either are coming from:

1. 14 inch air dam(total ground clearance from bottom of bumper is 19"), to me that sounds like cd disaster. 8-9 inch drop for a skid plate sounds more areo too me. along with that going 10km or faster, with no wind; i'd be over my trouble spots in seconds, along with the air having it's velocity changed by the skid plate forcing the air down it(part of bernoulli's principle)



2. covering in from the factory skid to the gas tank; to put this into perspective all the mounting parts for the rear are inboard(spring perches, shocks, track bar, anti-roll bar, 4 control arms, and a nice drive shaft.), that piece of coroplast would look like swiss cheese, and probably be more of a detriment.
