2nd Gen JCW Most liked posts in thread: 32.87 mpg

Amen.

Anyone else use FUELLY to track mileage?
So far, after 36 fill-ups, my overall average is 30.0 MPG.
The best is 32.7 for a tank.
Worst is 21.2, but that was several runs on the Tail of the Dragon and other roads in the area :wink:

About identical mileage in my '09 MCS

 

I do the Cincinnati-Columbus run pretty regularly in my '08 MCS and get similar results. You can actually get a lot more if you stick to 55~65, but who the heck wants to do that?

I did one run on old US 42 and got 35ish, iirc. It's a slower highway, longer drive, but a little more interesting than I-71. But not a whole lot, really. Once you get into Central Ohio flatland it's still dull and flat. I very much prefer my valley and hills.

 

I do, and have about 140 fill ups logged. I was rather happy with my 27.5 MPG in my 06 JCW until I saw you guys and your 30s...

 

I was getting low to mid 40's until I added the sprint booster and torque arm bushing. Now it seems to stay around 38.

Seems almost sacrilegious to talk MPG for this car :wink:
Oddly enough, I get better mileage in town/on my daily commute.
Highway travel at anything above 72 MPH returns less than 30 MPG.
As low as the 21.2 MPG I got while on the Tail of the Dragon, it is about what I saw for an average in my pervious car: 2004 VW R32.
All this beats my Jeep that averages 12.4 MPG (single digits when off-road.)

 

We're friends on Fuelly! Awesome.

11 fill-ups here with an overall average of 29.4 mpg.
