Im not going to repeat myself about my fuel economy. If you dont believe me? Then enjoy your 10 mpg jeep. You never even asked about the pitch of the road lol. That tells me. You are the troll. Calling me a troll.

There is evidence to suggest they exist and are among us...
Now you've gone and done it, I was happy to let him think he needed to bypass his "coolant pressure sensor", or whatever the hell it was he said.
Thank you. But you do realize what you've done now is akin to chugging a sixer and attempting to piss out a raging forest fire. I'm not convinced even the most valiant of attempts to understand and assist this individual won't end in frustration and ultimate failure.
If you filled up at the top of Pikes Peak and rolled down at idle the whole way, then filled up at the bottom, I have no doubt you would get abnormally high mpg. But it’s a meaningless number because that’s not normal driving for anyone. You cannot consistently get that kind of mpg out of a Wrangler…..any Wrangler. My wife’s Camry gets around 32mpg consistently. A Wrangler? Nope impossible. You are either very confused or are a bad liar. Which one is it?
So you chose the highest pitch in where my account claims to derive from ... bro... you cant even figure out the basics. You really think you have the skill to make a 99 jeep run 42 mpg in perfect scenario? I asked the question. I did the math and physics for myself.
I did it. The specs. I gave. If i can others can. Or just leave me alone. I already am alone.
One last hint. 220 ftlbs of torque vs 180 hp.

Again, I laid out the scenario where you could get those kind of mpgs. So, unless that’s what you did to get those kind of artificial mpgs, then you are a liar.
No you didnt. Are you in a psychosis. I expressed my scenario.
No you didn’t. You made an impossible claim and posters are calling you on your lies.
Pitch ? Let's ponder that for a minute.
You stated you achieved an average of 32 and up to 42. But let's go back to the pitch. Before I can calculate that I need the address, the exact location where you can travel down hill both ways? I'll wait.
Next, I never asked about pitch because it does not matter. I gave you the burn rate of fuel for a jeep with stock injectors at an idle. Anything above an idle is going to use fuel at a faster rate.
With a burn rate 236cc/min, I don't believe you could even achieve 42mpg coasting down Pikes Peak - unless you do it with the engine off.
There is not one thing about this story that is even remotely believable. An average of 32mpg in a Jeep is total horseshit and quadrupleing down make you look like a complete lying sack of crap.
As for my 10mpg's you refer too - I will have you know I average 14 and very proud of it. In fact, my jeep might be the highest gas mileage car I own and I have quite a few. I am proud to support my friends in the oil business by consuming their products in large quantities at a rapid pace.
You arent in control and yes pitch matters. I can even state the theory of pulleys to help you here? Im going a long way to help out.
i dont get that mileage now... i had a perfect scenario for it. Now im getting 24 mpg. I buy 5-7 gallons a week and the road is 12 miles a day there and then 12 back. 24 miles per day at 5-7 gallons a week. Is 24 mpg. Some day i want to have more fun... so i do use more fuel. My fuel gauge is weird and dips up and down too... . However, that doesnt change the fact that I know how to use my torque band. I drive a manual...you people dont know anything about physics. Its pathetic. The tj has what? 218 foot lbs of torque? Do you even realize how to use it?! Thats plenty of torque.
Also these jeep with proper tires. Since they have so much torque. Do better with larger tires. I cant afford the proper radius. They were 100$ more per tire. Ridiculous. So i got slightly smaller tires. Im still getting 24 mpg

Your high on something. But you left something out of your calculations and you probably believe using a Frame oil filter increases gas mileage too.
Go to bed and sleep it off.
Or is it 17? 12 miles? You previously said it was 6.
Without knowing exactly how much fuel you are using you are only guessing. Putting a few gallons in and bringing the tank to halfway is not calculating mileage, it is fulfilling a delusional fantasy. The only way to know is jam that tank full so it starts to overflow, drive it a few weeks and refill it to the same level. Randomly adding fuel is a joke.
So you start out in 1st or 2nd, get rolling and put it in 4th and putz along. Good for you but you are a danger on the road. My time is more precious than this and I don't care how many gas stations I have to stop at. Gas is cheap.
