I've never checked, but usually use between 5 and 8 gal per day depending on how long a run and how hard I run it. It's actually not bad considering it's wieght and being v8 powered. Fuel injection helped alot.

Getting about 15 mpg on the Jeep combined city/highway. Not bad. Not as good as my 3/4 ton diesel, lol.

13 mpg almost every tank unless I move that shift lever thinging into 4-lo, then see Toby's post.
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

I get roughly 15 mpg on the highway. No idea what I get wheeling.
I don't Text (at least not very well), I eat Blackberrys, and I only Twitter after sex...

My Jeep is probably the same as Lee's or maybe a little worse due to the stock gearing. I seem to be gassing up the old pickup less than I did the Jeep though, now that I am driving it everyday. It's a 5.0 V8, and the one tank that works on it is smaller than the tank in the Jeep. Maybe if my cracked windshield in the Jeep breaks through, I'd get better airflow and less wind resistance with the top down. :shock:

Typical wheeling weekend in naches I'll use about a full tank in a 3 day weekend. Problem is that's all low range on the floor so I'm getting about 5 mpg. :lol:

Bringing this one back from the dead, because I now have actual data to add :lol:

On the Darland run, driving there at ~70mph, wheeling all day, and driving back home ~70mph, the JK managed 14.48mpg hand calculated. 8)
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...
