42 mpg in a TJ

[srimes]

Doubt it. Need a certain amount of Watts to push against a certain amount of air resistance. Easily calculated. For an econobox sedan or Tesla3 maybe 20-30,000 Watts at 60mph. Just guessing for a TJ probably about 55,000 Watts. Whether it's generated by one cylinder or 16 cylinders is maybe a 20% difference max, probably more like 10%, all else being equal. 16 cylinders have more internal engine drag losses mostly.... plus the energy needed to just compress air, and pull/push it past the valves.

Also why engines are measured in horsepower instead of Watts is just stupid.

You aren't going 60 mph in a TJ with 6 hp. The point of the small engine is to better match the engine's efficiency curve, which needs a fairly heavy load, with the car's, where optimal speed is around 25 mph. Obviously this wouldn't be a practical car, but it would get great mileage.

And horsepower will always be cooler than watts. Chicks dig horses.

I cant believe you are all so irate that i could pull that off... basically idled around 6 miles a day for a month and a half. 1100 rpm slowly building speed up, maintaining average speed around 30 mph. Every pitch of road. I can use. I use camber too so i can build natural speed through gravity on a curve. a subtle pitch of this road was where my torque band met perfectly fine. And the pitch down was just coasting. It wasnt fun by any means... i also had to time every single light flawlessly too and traffic. Only driving at specific times of day. Low humidity... it was all perfect scenarios. Unless you geniuses dont understand torque and the mpg of an idling jeep. One thing i did notice. I couldnt afford the larger radius tires for my jeep. It was around 100$ more per tire for the proper spec, and the older tires i used were worn well down and the largest you can fit. That too aids in the torque band and average speed. However subtly. I noticed around 5 mpg drop using these smaller michelins.

I just wanted to see how high mpg i could get. Idc if you believe me... this is my last comment.

I don't think "irate" is the correct word to describe the reactions.

But whatever, I drive to have fun behind the wheel, which is why everything I drive (besides the Jeep) has over 300 HP.

You wanna schizopost and troll on YT, fine. Free country. But no one believes you because what you said literally cannot happen and I think you and I both know that. It's a sheet metal brick with what is essentially a tractor engine at its roots. You're not getting 42 MPG. End of story. You did the math wrong or you just want attention in a Jeep forum (which is a really weird audience to want to cater to your boredom).

No one's "irate" because they don't believe you, people are "irate" because you've been shitposting in multiple threads. GameStop's hiring, homie. Something to eat up some time might do you some good.

The OP sounds like an engineer who has never worked on a car but tells you how you have been doing wrong the whole time lol

Im not joking. I averaged 32 and got up to 42. I focused for a month to get that. 12 miles of driving a day. Using my torque band. Im very proud of it. I drove nearly a month and a half on 25$

Regularly get 58 mpg as most other TJ owners do. Some members here get 70+ mpg. It all depends on which whale oil we use. Beluga is the best, but getting hard to find on sale. Bought a small amount of Sperm whale oil. Very expensive, as the seller said it was from Moby Dick. I think he wasn't too truthful about it though . . .

You misunderstood, I said it was from Moby's dick not Moby Dick !!!!

Well, if that's the case . . . milage should improve again. Running 35's on the front, and 29's on the rear lets you sit back in the seat for a more relaxing trip.

Pitch of road, use of camber, natural speed, low humidity, torque band . . . very inspirational. thanks for posting!

I have withheld my secret for getting a little over 50 m.p.g. , but I like you guys so here it is , the coriolis effect ....

Yeah, but it only works if you drive uphill in a westerly direction and then turn around and drive downhill in an easterly direction.

I read "areolas effect" the first time, now it makes sense!
