Video on the miles per gallon i'm getting in my 2001 jeep wrangler TJ with 35 inch tires and d44 and stock 3.73 gears. Hope you guys enjoy! #jeeptj #mpg #kylesvt
KyleSVT I was going to say. The way the gas gauge works in these vehicles is not exactly accurate. You'll notice better mpg if you measure from half a tank than from a full tank.
Thanks for the update 👍. 16 is about right. Once you do a suspension lift you will see that number decrease if you drive freeway speeds. Just curious what speed do you run on the freeway? 12 hole injectors really help too.
Morning Kyle. I own 2004 LJ, l6 4.0l engine, auto transmission, DANA44 rear/DANA30 front. About 3 to 4 years ago I decided to install DRY Cell HHO (hydrogen) generator, and installed VOLOPerformance chip (for hydrogen and fuel economy). Everything else stock. Do not use HHO for 2 years because it is inconvenient for ONTARIO winter time. But still use VOLO chip. My winter average mileage is 12.5liters/100km (18.8miles/gal). Today I fill up tank at morning (had 420km, put almost 44 liters of gas (43.8) into tank), which is 10.05 liters/100km (23.4 miles/gal). I monitor my fuel consumption for all these 4 years every time I get to gas station. Most of my driving is HWYs, driving speed 55miles/h (86-89km/h).
That’s crazy! And technically you are getting a little more than your calculations. Running larger tires means you’re actually going slightly faster than what the speedometer reads, and therefore driving more miles than the odometer tells you. You may actually be pushing 23ish mpg.
Now I get 12.5 mpg. 2002 TJ Sport 4.0 engine 3spd auto. 3.73 gears. 33x12.5 tires. 2.5" lift. That's @ 2400 rpms @ 60mph. In a few weeks when I put in my 5.13s 4" lift on 33s still. I will let you know if there's a change.
Did you adjust the speedo for the larger tires? Did you GPS the miles compared to the odometer? My stock 03 Rubicon gets between 16.5/20 highway/slow driving through the woods.
My 06 rubicon with 35 in rubber, 410 gears, and six speed gets 11 mpg. Thats with a 6 inch long arm lift, and 1.25 inch body lift, so lots of air blowing under it...
Glad to see others getting these numbers. I was thoroughly surprised when i found out mine was not as bad as i expected it to be. Im running 33s and I filled it up when i bought it and ive driven just over 200 miles. It just now hit half a tank so thats around 9 gallons used coming out to just over 22mpg. This is mostly driving around town with a lot of gear shifting going on up and down. Before i got it i was expecting it to be like 13-15 mpg at most. Had an 04 cherokee with the 4.0 and it was absolutely awful. Some days even below 13mpg. I guess full time 4wd destroys your mpgs that badly.
Just as a precaution on this method of measuring fuel consumption, the way the gas gauge works in these vehicles is not linear. If you measure your fuel consumption from an empty or near empty tank you'll notice a big difference in mpg.
Ain't no way you are getting 16.8 mpg. B freakin S! I have 33's with about the same set up and I am getting around 12 at best! I'm at sea level and running regular gas.
I don't follow this channel, so I'm just speculating... I bet it's not tuned and corrected. With 35's, his speedometer would be off on average by 10 mph so none of his mileage would be all that correct. Granted, this could also be driving around town and keeping his rpms below 2500. I can get that in my JKU on 37s if I don't raise the RPMS above 2500 at all and that is completely tuned and speedo recalibrated.
2000 Sport 4.0 manual with D44 running 4:88s on 35's and I average 16mpg... I drive the speed limit and cruise everywhere. I never drive on the highway, as I don't have a rear swaybar and it gets fuckng sketchy when semi's pass me.
Kyle, WHAT FUEL DOOR/CAP SYSTEM DO YOU HAVE??? I can't find that combo anywhere, and I'm so tired of spinning the stupid locking fuel cap that needs to go lol. Watched a ton of your TJ videos, super helpful after buying one to learn stick! Keep up the great videos.
Have you compared the difference in tire diameter; stock to 35s to get the proper driven mileage. Have you looked into getting a corrected speedometer gear from Quadratec so that you driven mileage and speed are correct ? With 35's and 3.73 gears and a manual transmission; I would figure about 13-15 mpg.
I was getting about 190 miles per tank... after replacing all 4 o2 sensors with ntk due to the infamous bosch o2.... now I'm getting about 160... 4.0 stock motor.... wtf
By the way, f.consumption wasn't my reason to contact you. Your METALCLOAK overline fenders was my reason. So, you dont have any lift either body or suspention on your jeep, correct? What is your feetback about this product. Interested to install on my LJ due to rusted out stock fenders.
I am thinking to build similar fenders from my stock having fun with my buddies at garage (they are car mechanics). Would you mind, if possible, to do several measurements of your fenders for me?
Hey you should look into getting these fender flares for your tj I have them on my 2001 tj they look great!! www.bushwacker.com/search-results/make-model-year/2001-jeep-wrangler
