42 mpg in a TJ

[Link]

I sometimes surprise myself with simple answers about dumb questions and seeing through bullchit.

I fired up the google machine and stumbled across a very informative video.

I hope everyone finds it enlightening.

Based on the OPs video, he really needs to cut out the devils lettuce.

We use to mess with a guy at work by adding a couple gallons of gas each day at work to his tank. He was impressed and bragged about the fuel mileage all the time... then we cut off his supply... he nearly went craze thinking something was wrong all of the sudden...

Wholesome pranking, giving a dude free gas

I did the math 236cc/ min. You have no idea how much gas you used because you only fill up to an unknown point and then guess at the mileage based on another random refill. You didn't do the math. You simply made shit up.

In addition to that, I recall he mentioned installing smaller tires, which would make the odometer show more miles traveled than actual if the speedometer was not properly calibrated.

When in doubt, choose Fram.

OMG YOU DID IT! LMAO!!!

This is awesome! Jerry lives on through the miracle of the internet!

But if he only put smaller tires on the front, then his Jeep is always going downhill, no? Mystery solved.

Here's how it's done...

I’m right by pikes peak, maybe I will try that road. Brakes won’t work too well with the engine off though.

Breaks waste energy and will kill your mileage. Make sure your sway bar is connected.

Aerodynamics are not your friend.

Take off the doors. Remove rear hanging tire and mount. Leave the side windows. Tension top proplerly. Learn how to drive better than a cow. Its horsepower. Not cow power.

What happened after he was gone? Did you form a committee of people all agreeing to tamper with property?

Close. But the tach shows 5 mph slower now. Back during the 42 mpg. I had 2 mph above the showed tach compared to the radars in town. But that has nothing to do with actual speed, rpm. And circumference. Which equate.

I cant afford the proper radius.

That makes cents.

 

[bohuggabee]

That makes cents.

Ya. It was 100$ more per tire. Idk why

Wow your tachometer shows your speed, does you speedometer show your RPM's ....

It's the reverse osmosis effect!!!!!

 

[TheBoogieman]

I get 43 mpg in my TJ. So........

 

[TJ Jim]

Oh no. Not another one.

 

[John Cooper]

Oh no. Not another one.

I wonder if his Jeep has an hour meter and he thinks it's the odometer??

So you don’t know what you are talking about. Got it. And your 20,000 mile K&N filter you mentioned in your video doesn’t have anything to do with your mpg either.

OP posted a new video that covers the topic of oil for a Jeep…..and dating
