Thanks for Jeep XJ thread on economy! My '95 XJ gets 24MPG regularly. Is that good? - Here's how: Tires @ 44PSI, Synthetic 10-40 hi mileage oil, clean air filter, a light foot! And my XJ is a manual transmission Jeep. I'd say speeds 60 or under are the most helpful, as our XJs are aerodynamic bricks. XJs run hot, so I've deleted my A/C (not much of a sacrifice here in high and dry Colorado) and for off road crawling, I pop my hood and insert 2 large diameter 6 inch long foam noodle sections under each side of hood popped to safety catch, to prevent bouncing. I like the vents but resist cutting my hood! Perhaps I could buy a hood from a salvage yard for that experiment?
