TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Jeep Wrangler

Jeep Wrangler Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Comment
2010	Heavy and far from aerodynamic, the Jeep Wrangler doesn't earn impressive EPA fuel economy ratings: 17 mpg city, 21 mpg highway. In the suburbs I could only get the average mpg readout to top 20 if I was very easy on the pedals. In most of my suburban driving the trip computer reported averages around 16. The 4Runner's EPA ratings are no better. Its trip computer averages were two-to-three mpg higher, but some or even most of this advantage could have been due to summer weather. see full Jeep Wrangler review

Jeep Wrangler Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr SUV 285-horsepower 3.6L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Compared to my 2001 TJ Jeep Wrangler which got around 11 to 13 MPG, the 15-17 city and 18/21 highway are quite the improvement, especially since it is a longer/heavier 4-door model. At the worst, I've gotten 13 MPG in stop and go driving and 15 on the highway in very strong headwinds. The flip side; the best I've gotten in-city is 18 MPG and an impressive 28 MPG with a tailwind from Colorado to Texas! Overall, for driving what is basically shaped like a brick on the road; the fuel economy for my Jeep I feel is rather impressive. see full Jeep Wrangler review
2010	4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Being a true SUV, and as heavy as it is, fuel economy is not the best. However, I knowingly traded my 2010 Ford Mustang that got decent fuel economy in for this Jeep Wrangler that I knew got bad fuel economy because I wanted and needed an all season vehicle. Although my fuel economy hovers around 14 mpg, I don't regret my decision. see full Jeep Wrangler review
2009	4dr SUV 202-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I average 19 mpg on road and 22mpg on hwy. Better than many SUVs on the road. see full Jeep Wrangler review
2006	2dr SUV 190-horsepower 4.0L I6 6-speed manual 4WD, part-time w/low range	If I fill it up before it gets to a quarter tank it gets around 15MPG, but if I wait until the light comes on and then do the math I'm getting 17. Either way, this is not really the kind of vehicle you buy for the gas mileage. see full Jeep Wrangler review

Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	I keep a detailed log of fuel economy. I commute on hour each way, every day. 50% of the time is spent at 65 mph on the highway, and the remainder between 50 and 60 on 2-lane country roads. Only a few stops in between. Very consistently getting 21.5 to 22.3 mpg. I rarely rev it above 4000 RPM - only when passing someone. That happens maybe once or twice per tank. I am underwhelmed by the fuel economy. Full-sized trucks with larger, stronger V8s get similar economy. see full Nissan Frontier review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	This 2011 Frontier Crew Cab at 4,000 miles is averaging 19-21 hwy, 16-19 city depending on weather and traffic conditions. see full Nissan Frontier review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Well it has a 4.0L V6, so I guess I should have expected it. It does have nice power though. see full Nissan Frontier review
2011	4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD	Well, the EPA ratings are 15 city 20 Highway. The salesman I dealt with says it is easy to get 20 Highway, and I am not an aggressive driver. The V6 is geared low enough that it does 1800 rpm at 60MPH, so my light foot will help here. We will see ! see full Nissan Frontier review
