johnj92131 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 What is the most gas you have put in the MJ at one fillup? I have been using the MJ a whole lot these last two weeks. Today I filled the stock 23.5 gallon tank up at Costco. It took 24.008 gallons, so I was right at bottom of the tank. The pump clicked off at 23.89x and I restarted the pump till the next shut off at 24.008 gallons. Got me wondering what others had put in their tanks. BTW, it was 378.1 miles, so 15.748917 mpg on 225/75 x 15 tires. Gas was $3.799/gal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get 17mpg with mostly city driving, on 225/70/16 tires. 70 liters = 18.52 U.S. gallons 115 euro = $155.38 U.S. One gallon = $8.40 U.S. Somebody remind me next time I complain about $4.50 or $5.00/gallon gas. 24.8 gallons to fill up a new 23.5 gallon longbed tank. Looks like the champ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogmorgo Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Coming home from school for Christmas 2012, I got home on one tank of gas. It's something like 300 miles. I forget what exactly led to it, but the next day, forgetting that I didn't have gas, I took off on a 60 mile trip on a Sunday, when all the gas stations are closed because I live in the middle of nowhere. Needless to say, 15 miles or so in, the low fuel light came on. I was hoping that since my destination was a larger town there might be a gas station open, so I slowed down a bit and kept going. Nope, no open gas stations. I had to get back that night, so I started driving the 60 miles back, thinking if I did run out I could just call someone for a rescue, and that the further I drove, the less far they'd need to drive to get me. Somehow I made it all the way back, as well. The next day, I put 94.73 litres into the tank. That's 25.02 US gallons. I guess the old tank may have bulged a bit or something? At 16.8 mpg, that was also one of my better tanks for mpg. Also, I paid CAD$4.236/gal for that fillup, so $106. The data is in my fuelly.com log, should be a link in my siggy. Fillup number 9. I remember the guy behind the till at the gas station doing the whole "damn, that little old truck took a lot of gas" thing. "How far does that get you?" The look on his face when I said about 675km (420 miles) was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Flat ground, stock tires and cruising 60 mph I used to get 24mpg out of my Renix 4.0/auto on long trips with a range of about 550 miles or 880 km. Neither my old XJ (4.0HO/stick shift) nor my current (4.0HO/auto) have ever managed to touch that. My Renix 2.5/5 speed with 3.55 gears can manage 27mpg if I stick to 60, or 24mpg at 75. This one has the smaller short bed tank, though, so it's range is only about 450 miles or 720 km. Sad thing is, my 1984 Olds 98 with a 5 liter engine and 4 barrel carburetor got 24mpg also on the highway. That is a larger vehicle weighing more with older technology and a larger engine. Large gas tank also giving it a range of 600 miles or 960 km. But the King was my Suburban with a 42 gallon tank and a 750 mile/1200 km range . Ohio to Florida, a week in Florida and then back to Ohio with two fill ups (three tanks of gas). But at $4 per gallon at the time those fill ups cost $160 each. I also paid $180 CDN for a fill up north of the border once. Sadly, I got rid of it a few years ago. Current long distance cruiser is my camper with a 33 gallon tank and 18 mpg again at 60. Mileage takes a huge nose dive at faster speeds probably because of the 8 foot tall roof. But towing my Jeep on a trailer in hilly terrain I usually only get about 7. I keep track of my mileage on a spreadsheet. Running average of my 2.5 since I got it in January of 2011 is hovering around 20 or 21 mpg mixed driving. Goes up some over the summer, down during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
