on my trip from grand junction to colorado springs (300ish miles pretty hilly) i pulled this off somehow.
not bad for a 5400lb rig a wimpy 3.8L and a 37" tire 4.10 gear ratio combo. Im also running a Airaid CAI and Dynomax exhaust which did bump me up about 1-2 mpg
but just curious i havent reprogrammed for the bigger tire size so my spedo and odometer is still off does that mean my mpg on the computer is off too? :thinking:

I get around 18 MPG on average with 33s. Im extremely happy with that, considering my last Daily Driver (83 CJ7) got around 11, and I was driving about 50 miles a day in it!!

Yes, somehow your mileage was even better than 14.8 because your jeep doesn't know the circumference increase so with each axle revolution it thinks you travelled the distance if your old circumference.

14.5-15 with top and doors off and mixed driving. 16.5-18 with everything on and mixed driving.

But I believe there is a thread on this and everyone's will vary with each build.

Well I have a heavy foot, but have been trying to drive more conservatively, but I get low teens around town and usually in the 14-17 range on highway. 33" trail grapps on my '12 JKU, CAI and AFE cat back exhaust. Computer has been reprogrammed for tires And that's with doors and top on. :-/

Not good... I average just over 11 with 37's and a Dynomax exhaust which is to blame because I like the sound! Yup

2013 JKU with 3.73's, 2.5" AEV, 35's and auto. I normally get 14-15 with all city driving. I got 16 on a long distance trip. My last tank I got 16 which is the best tank on my setup, but most of that tank was without the hardtop if that makes any difference.

Last tank worked out to be 16.6mpg... 2013 2-door, 37's, 4.88's. Only got that because I pretty much went the whole tank without using the A/C.

14 to 17 combined. I have 2.5 lift and 33s, auto 4.10 gears.

Having my hardtop on keeps me closer to 17.
