42 mpg in a TJ

Sir, one way to measure it is to fill up your tank and reset the trip odometer. When you next fill up your tank, record the miles driven on the trip odometer. This is your miles. Then, record the gallons required to fill up again. It is not perfectly accurate because sometimes the Jeep might not fill up properly, but it should give you a good estimate. The gallons used is the bottom of the equation. So you will have Miles/gallon. Take the miles driven and divide it by the gallons taken to fill it up again. This is MPG, or miles per gallon.

Imagine if you had a clear gas tank, which you don't have. When you fill up, you could mark the line where your gas reached in the tank. When you next filled up, you would know exactly how much fuel it takes to get back to that same exact line, because the pump would display it as you fill up. This way you could tell the exact amount of gas was required and used to get back to that line. Then you could use the miles driven on that much gas, hence "Miles per gallon" or Miles/gallon. But, you don't have a clear gas tank to exactly measure it, so it is not going to be that accurate. MPG really has nothing to do with rpm. RPM is revolutions per minute. RPM is more related to speed. Where speed is linear speed and RPM is rotational speed or revolutional speed. I hope this helps, sir.

Bro, you wont even ask me what I ate for breakfast??!!!! What was my average speed last week when I was coming back from buying tinfoil hats for my cats??!!! I only used .12¢ in electricity last year despite running five hot tubs 24/7 because I know physics. Am I right? THATS the difference between a troll and me.

This is exactly what I'm talking about! The true experts are here on WTJF!
You can't get that kind of wisdom on the other forums!

Ok I'll bite,what did your cat have for breakfast?
 
I never said my cat had breakfast. You can't even read lol. Go figure it out, but I did. You tell me.
I understand now! The cats was busy supplying the supplemental energy to achieve 42 mpg!

When the snow melts and I switch back to summer tires I'm going to try for a 40mpg trip. I live at the base of a mountain so I've got elevation to work with. Trick will be figuring out where I can go slow enough for good mileage without blocking traffic.

Don't think I can do it with the swampers. I'm good with math and physics but not that good.

I know... im a type that tries to figure it out on my own. Someone stabbed my tank and stole my fuel, the day after i just filled up lol. I patched it with jb weld and a really dense woven cloth i soaked with the jb weld. 2 years its held. I think that part of the fun of a analogue jeep. Is trying to solve issues creatively. Of course i cant bypass sensors or whatever. But ive been able to get 42 miles per gallon in my 99 jeep 4.0. Which is unheard of.

I tried for Pike Peak last year but got shut down for weather. Now I’m wondering what my MPGs would be if I idled all the way back down. Brakes would get hot though…..

When coasting in gear above something like 1700 rpm (don't remember exactly) it turns the fuel off completely. Can watch it if you have an obd2 reader.
