15.6 average on scangauge II. unfortunately, that is the best of my 4 4wheeled vehicles.
I have a dodge ram sh** wagon that can not get 10mpg, if i push it downhill.

I drove mine from Indiana to Texas a couple months ago and was getting about 16-17 mpg on the way down (gas added up quick!).. not sure what I am getting in the city.. maybe around 10-12

How many have programmed their UG to give the most accurate MPGs? You can set the actual number of miles per 1 mile on the odometer. Mine is about 1.2 miles actual for every 1 mile roll over on the odometer. Also, you can calibrate the actual amount of gas used vs. what the UG is guessing. I also use a MPG tracking app on my phone.

where did you find your D3 i havent been able to find on except for an over priced one at bill fits

I was watching craigslist and autotrader. I found this one at a Jeep dealer in Tulsa, I got it for cheap because it needed (and still needs) some work. And it's got a CRAZY amount of miles on it.

Most of the stats I remember from my D2 were from calculating it the old fashioned way.

Have you been to the Arkansas Rover Society rallies? I went to the spring rally this year, the first Rover event I had ever been to, it was a good time. Then a couple of months later I went to SCARR in Texas, it was awesome too.

How do i get the gas milage, Check tier pressures every week and set them at 38psi, dont run with the A/C on and I have a very light foot, speed wise I tend to stick aorund 60 - 65 MPH. Always change the oil at 5k and use Shell Rotella. Dont have any other crap inside the car. The figures were worked out using the old fashioned way of filling up to the first click and then refliing.
As for gas then i tend to run 89......(wait for it here comes the haters). I travel 53 miles per day to work and 90% is high way but the journey in is in commute traffic.
