No car on earth gets less than 10mpg "officially". Even the fully armored Humvee (not the Hummer civilian model) got 10mpg, even when fully loaded with missiles and shit.

My every day cars get about 40 mpg

My fun car gets about 13 mpg

Not EPA estimates, actual real life driving and stuff.

I used to a few years back. My Jeep TJ v6 had 35 inch tires and a lift though. I think I got like 11-13 mpg, not below 10 but close. Gas was under $2 back then though, so I didnt mind filling up that 18 gallon tank.

This was when off roading or in the city. On the highway I think I was around 18-20

Yea... even the Jeep website says wranglers get 21mpg, and depending on the driver you might be able to squeeze 2-3 on top of that.

I was talking about my wrangler, I assumed you had one based on your reply...

My Jeep gets 15.4 mpg overall. (That is what my dash tells me anyway)

It sucks but I really do enjoy the ride.

When I was a teenager, I had an '69 Oldsmobile 88 that got 7-8 MPG due to the way I drove it. That car was incredibly awesome, though I spent more in tickets and raised insurance premiums than I did for the car.
