Gas Sucks - Get Better Mileage
Squeeze Every Yard Out Of That GallonGuess what? We’ve got bad news for you. Driving a Jeep built to go off-road is a sure-fire way of getting bad mileage. Why is that? Well it’s just a fact of life. If you want to get good fuel mileage there are a few things you can do…but unfortunately, none of them fit too well with any Jeep that actually gets used off-road. First you can drive a small aerodynamic car. Hmm…Yep, most Jeeps are large and have the aerodynamic profile of a brick. Smaller tires with efficient tread patterns and lower rolling resistance can help to increase mileage. Big, heavy, durable, blocky tires with massive treads suck down the dinosaur spirits for sure. Poop! Lightweight cars with lightweight modern chassis are the way to go for efficiency. Even a relatively lightweight XJ with Unitbody construction will have to be stiffened (Read: add weight) to get it to last more than a few years off-road. Two-wheel-drive cars generally get better mileage. Good luck getting a two-wheel-drive Jeep over Hell’s Revenge or the Rubicon Trail. Yep, we can’t win.
