What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting and how long did it take until it got better if any. Thanks

3,000 miles and I'm getting 14.3 mpg, although that's skewed... My basic strategy is to throttle the crap out of my Jeep! :D

It would probably be lower, as I'm in the city and rush hour for the most part, but I was on a big road trip on slower highway (60 mph) and lower rpm/long hauling ramped me up to 15.8 mpg. Most threads here say you'll see improvement around 8,000 miles, but I'm not quite there yet, myself. :)

600 miles on her... just went over 13 mpg (mostly highway). I didn't buy a SRT8 for gas mileage, but it would be nice to see 15 mpg :D

I have gotten up to 16.4 MPG on cruise control at 80 KPH (@50 MPH) but that is the exception. My basic mileage hovers around 12.4 MPG with several tanks in the 11.6 MPG zone. However, it should be noted that the Jeep spends the majority of its time at 120-140 MPH on its daily commute. I have tried to be a good citizen and put the cruise on at 95-100 MPH, but the guy behind the wheel just can't leave well enough alone! Sorry, I am going to satisfy my speed jones every minute that I can while I live here! Its my right as a speed-suppressed American!! :D I am thoroughly enjoying every gallon!

I didn't buy it for gas mileage either but hopefully it will get around 15.
My car consist of 04 nav that gets 13-14 and my 03 cobra isn't that good either. The oil companys love me. :D
