Vastly varies from on and off road use as well as idle and driving.

My 2019 gets something around 35 mpg when driven mostly on the street...it's by far the best mileage I've ever gotten in any of my vehicles. It's bone stock, manual trans with 33" BFG KOs.

I swapped axles with a guy that had 5:38's. Still have factory BFG and mine has the 5 speed. Running 60mph, I drove from Magee, MS to Coffeeville, AL. Around 120 miles and I burnt 5/8 to maybe 3/4 tank. I have noticed the fuel gage seems to be a little off since I leveled the front, not much. So I'd say 7 gallons of fuel. But that's turning 2800 RPM the whole trip...

AND I forgot to mention I pulled a 16' tandem axle trailer as well. I came over to get my Ram and trailered the Roxor back.

Just got 29 with around town driving at 45mph and under, which is the best I've gotten since buying it in November. I've never gotten lower than 26.

How many RPM's do you turn @ 60 mph?

Awesome, thanks for the feed back. I am hoping for 2500 or less. I thought about 37's,, but am affairs I will be replacing axles.... I'm not rough on my, but I do use it when needed.

Rule of thumb in the Jeep days regarding TJs was 35s were about max on the dana 44 axles. Some made 37s live on them but they were by no means bullet proof. Given that we have Dana 44 clones the only way I’d run anything larger than 33’s is with a chrome molys And the full float kit in the rear. That’s the setup I did. Stock front axles have *hit U joints. When they bust you almost always stretch the ears. So just up grade that when regearing or adding a locker. The rear is a 2 piece design. While the OTR kit could be made better I feel it’s a vast improvement over stock. If I had my way I’d prefer a one piece full float axle over the axle and hub kit they offer. Either way if I was planning on going 37s or larger you’d be better off with an axle swap of some sort.

I average around 28 mpg but when I did a 96 mile round trip on paved roads only, I got 45.3 mpg. I fil up by hand right to the brim and drove from 8000ft down to 3500 elevation and reversed the exact route. Refilled ex to the brim and used the average of what the odometer showed be against the route measured by Polaris ride comma app and also Google maps measuremen. Worst I have ever gotten out of is 22.3 but that was almost 95% off road.
