You know you have a special bond with your vehicle when you praise it for still working after taking on the highway.
+boofighter Yeah, that special bond that's forged during the hours spent waiting for the breakdown truck.
+MrKeyboardCommando
I have had a few cars that did that to me.
boofighter Yeah, you know you've got yourself a "special" car when you're on first name terms with the break down truck driver.
I managed to get ~18 mpg mpg on a 134-mile trip from Los Angeles to Palm Desert in a 2005 model with the 4-speed auto. They're not fun or practical vehicles for highway trips. It's too loud and not comfortable for long trips, and they don't handle crosswind with much grace. I haven't driven the current generation yet, but I can't imagine it's a huge leap forward in any of those areas. It's an awesome car as long as it's your weekend adventure car instead of daily driver.
+BDofNLA current gen isn't too terribly noisy, but it's far from quiet. haha
i'm not positive on fuel economy, though
Absolutely LOVE this series thank you and have a Blessed day everyone
Just wanted to say I LOVE these shows Tommy! I've got a 95 yj with a VW 1.9 TDI boosted to 160 hp and 280 tq and it gets about 28-33 depending how you drive it with the soft top, but I also have an 87 wrangler with the 2.5 4 cylinder (both jeeps have 33s and a lift) and it has 120k on it and I only average 13.9.... ...ONE BETTER!!!!! And both are 5 speeds!
Good video. Media is already plural.
I absolutely love this series, I have a 1992 Sonoma which sadly isn't currently running. I have big plans for it, right now its shackled up and T-bar cranked on 31' firestone M/T tires. I wish I had places to off-road like you.
Hey Tomy, do more of these older vehicle test!
please do!!
I think 13mpg is great for something designed for off road use plus 21 years old plus 150k miles. With the 3 speed your probably around 3000-3500rpm going 70mph.
+Steve Holt i averaged 22mpg in my 1988 Toyota Pickup during my 3,000 mile trip from Seattle to Atlanta. i didn't have 5th gear and had a fuel leak but still managed to get as high as 26mpg and as low as 6mpg in the mountains. lol
4th gear, 80-90mph, 32in tires, heavy 1/4in steel bumper, and a bed loaded with luggage/fluids/tools.
thats cool
thanks for posting this interesting video Tommy! I like these older vehicle test, keep it up buddy!, and if you manage to get your hands on another jeep like that but with a manual transmission, please do make an mpg test of that vehicle, im sure many people would be very interested to see that.
Love the Jeep videos. The budget build Jeep 4x4 rocks!
i got about 18 on my completely stock 1994 sahara with a 5speed and 4.0l. now with 33's, 4.10 gearing, a 6 inch lift, arb lockers front and rear, which, snorkel, etc...... gets 15mpg
love the yj I own a 94 and love to see yours in action keep it up!
YES! More of this please... older trucks... stuff us regular folk can afford as toys and still have money leftover to buy our kids diapers!
Not to bad for an old jeep! I've had YJ, TJ, and now a JK! It's unbelievable how far the gas mileage has come!! I drive about 68 miles a day round trip to work and back, in the mountains of West Virginia and get anywhere 20-28 depending how hard I'm running!! But great videos on the Jeep👍
+EVIN TACY My friend has a JK with 35's- that gets about 12 gallons per mile. :)
Ninety-eight miles in a Jeep Wrangler without it breaking down !!!!! Have you informed the Guinness Book of Records ????
( And, yes, I know it's now called Guinness World Records. ).
I get a lot better mileage with my 2003 Jeep TJ but then again I keep it to 62 (100 km/h). It would be interesting to repeat your test at 60 and see the difference it makes. I'd bet a 25% improvement.
Yeah man 100mph pushing it with a 3 spd auto
Even for a 21 year old off-road vehicle, that gas mileage is still pretty bad. I towed a 4800lb trailer with 500lbs in the bed a distance of 1,072 miles with my 1999 Tacoma V6 TRD Off-road 5MT when it had 260,000 miles and got almost the same gas mileage as this Jeep. 12.1 mpg average for the entire trip. Empty, my Tacoma averaged 17mpg during that same distance (but going the other direction).
I think the 3 speed hurts the Jeep the most. Would be interesting to see a comparison with a similar Jeep with the 5MT. That should be closer to my Tacoma in fuel efficiency.
Chris Biz I get 15mpg with the 2.5L 5 speed
92 Jeep Wrangler
Love it, love it, love it!!!
As a Mainland Chinese, thrilled to know Jeep is now partly owned by Dongfeng of China 🇨🇳
great jeep and amazing place
I had a '03 TJ Rubicon with the auto trans, the best MPG I could attain was 19 miles to the gallon doing 65 ~ 70 MPH on the freeway. My Rubicon was awesome on the trails but not so much getting to the trails.
150k on those straight 6s isn't very much. My XJ is at 260k and still running strong
Same
If I had Tommy's YJ, it would look like a Jurassic Park Jeep. Adding the light bar is a step in the right direction.
The music at 0:27 reminded me of being back at GTAuto in Gran Turismo 4
Hey Tomy, what does your new Jeep do on this MPG test?!
Question: Was the speedometer gearing changed to account for the taller tires? If not, was GPS used for speed? Otherwise you were probably closer to 80 than 70 and the MPGs went down as a result! A brick with fat tires has a ton of friction (from cd and rolling resistance) at 80!
Should use a how speed check to compare.
I know my 3.0 CRD 2005 WK going up to 31inch has hit highway mpg especially.
Had it as high as 38.5 and now I struggle with getting as much as 31.
But I'm aware that over stock my tyres are around 6.5% a tail speed difference so I add that in too. City driving is at a mid 20s typically if driven steady.
I knew it would be bad. I didn't know it would be THAT bad.
Michael Miller 13? i get 15.5 in my lifted jku😂
with a 3spd the best speed would be around for 40 to 50 mph for best mpg
I've got a 02 TJ 2.5 4cyl with the 5speed. I drive it 60 miles a day back and fourth to work all highway miles I run 65mph and run around 2700rpm and I'm only averaging 16-17mpg
12.8 MPG isn't that bad considering you have 33" tires, a three-speed automatic, and driving it at 70 MPH. I have a bone stock 05 Rubicon with the Six-speed Manual and I get about 15-16 MPG when I drive 70 MPH in North Dakota. My old 04 stock Wrangler X with 31" tires and a four-speed automatic averaged around 12 MPG while going 70 MPG.
Jonathan Bridges Yeah, those 4.0's are straight up trash. The new 3.6 makes more power, torque, and fuel economy is a lot better.
Gas gauge in my 93 with 94,000 is really close. But keeping it closer to 60 does a lot better for mileage on mine
I'm looking at buying my first jeep soon, preferably a TJ. Can you do a video on used jeep buying tips?
did anyone else notice that in the last episode he had put on brand new tires and this one the jeep has the old tires?
what are the tire sizes on these?
Tommy I hope your fuel gauge works. It's a common problem with YJs
My '99 XJ gets around 20 on the highway, but that plummets to 14 around town. Stock tires, no lift, 218,000 on the odometer. I am always tempted to lift it and put bigger wheels on, but the gas mileage difference is too rich for my blood. The 4.0 is a very thirsty engine.
I have 33s on my TJ. When it says 45mph, I'm really going 50mph.
Have you calibrated the speedometer? If not you are going *WAY* faster than you thought you were.
If you speedo read 70, you were actually going 81.67 mph. Which means your odometer reading was also wrong.
+Atlas Tomcat My yj would go 95 and it only had a 4 cyl.
had a 91 3 speed auto 4.0 wrangler. highways mpg for me was about 14 stock sized tires. and yes the gas Guage was very obsolete lol
+richard bean If my car got 14mpg i might kill it. (02 taurus, can get the mpg above 35 :D)
12.9? Actually I am impressed. I was thinking it would be in the 11 range on a Jeep that old.
what gear ratio does the Jeep have
You were probably doing more like 80mph since the tires are way bigger than stock
If we knew his ratios and rpm, it could be calculated.
+GETaYOTA And, hence, (if the speedometer was uncalibrated) he also went farther than 98 miles and the MPG would be better, if only slightly.
+Scott Bram incorrect. Their loop is the same every time and it's gps calculated at 98 miles.
+GETaYOTA I'd forgotten he mentioned that. I guess age & the 3-speed auto took a toll. My 1993 XJ with automatic rarely gets that low an MPG even when it's wearing 33s around town (Lakewood/Denver) unless I really got on the skinny pedal too much.
No, I had a new '91 Wrangler and it averaged about the same MPGs. Age doesn't seem to make a difference. I hate that I ever sold my red baby. 150K on a straight 6 should not be a scare factor, actually I would be more concerned with an 3-speed auto and the trans going out before the engine.
You guys need to team up with dirt everyday for a few videos!
that truck is a brick going through the air. now do the test driving at 55 mph
Great MPG for a jeep
That's bad, my old YJ used to get about 22 MPG but we use the larger gallon or litres. Same engine etc, even the same colour. Just to let you know the New JK with 35" BF's gets about 22 also with the V6 Penstar for 2015.
Yeah cuz if I'm buying a 95 Jeep I need to know how many mpg it gets...smh
What ring and pinion gear ratio in the axles?
That's not so bad when you consider tires and elevation.
More videos please
You are basically making a cube do 70mph, arent you?
My 2000 xj gets 22 highway and averaging 18-19 combined. Also it has street tires on it and it far more capable that that yj. Oh and 186k miles
It makes the most fun to the gallon. There is more to a vehicle than fuel economy. Fuel economy is not a priority for me.
It's a Jeep. Who cares about gas mileage? I didn't buy my JKU to save at the pump.
did they say 3 speed?
This is Roman's son right?
Going 5-10 mph less, you could of saved more than 10% in fuel... that's more than a gallon! Imagine if EVERYONE would drive like that!? We would breath better, at least...
+Pro Env Its true but you dont really see it until you exsperience it in an EV. For instance I know that driving faster or up hills sucks down fuel but I never realized how much I was wasting. In cars you either save time or save money but you do not save both when driving. When I drive my volt on EV, and at 71 mph like everyone else my EV gets me to work and I have to use gas on the ay back as I have a 60 mile total commute. When I do the unthinkable in the land of NASCAR and road rage and gasoline and drive at 56 or 60 mph and get off at the nearest city and take a slower drive through downtown and do the same on the way back in stead of using 0.7 gallons of fuel I use 0.4. Its not a huge mega savings but I make minimum wage so saving an entire paycheck every year on gas means a lot for me...at the moment. Hopefully my money and job improves and fast though...
i have a jeep yj with 33s and get 14.6ish highway mpg
Damn my 5-speed XJ gets about 21 MPG. At least I think so. It doesn't have a fancy trip odometer. 🙄
Older content is great...that Jeep is terrible on fuel. My Ram2500 Cummins did much better with 35" tires and a 6" lift...11.4L/100kms (approx 21mpg)
because diesel😂 2016 jku, 3” lift, 33”s = 15mpg
wow 3 speed 4 ltr u couldn't even have a car like that in the UK fuel is way too expensive at 13mpg us
+Mark Williams and he drove motorway miles, the stop start driving of the UK would drop those miles drastically. If it sees a hill you're f'd lol.
lol. i get 9mph in my '95 4runner with the 3.0 v6
Hell my 99 Jeep WJ with the 4.0 on 33s gets about 12.5 i can deal with that I would rather drive it everyday and to every family vacation then my wife’s fusion that gets 21.5 mpg
I didn't realize fourteen year olds were allowed to hold a driving license in the USA.
+MrKeyboardCommando 15 in Texas and up from there. Most states do not allow the actual license until 16 or older and only give a permit which requires an adult in the car with you and no night driving...
+Randy Sullivan Seck
The joke is that the pin ball wizard looks like he is in Jr. High.
In order t be a joke does there not have to be some humor involved?
+Randy Sullivan Seck That, sir, is hilarious.
holy crap theres only 2 comments including me
LOL my 2003 xterra sc 2wd gets the same mpg wish it got better.
Horrible, guess if you own a jeep it needs to be a second car used for screwing around on the weekends.
+Jeff K Or used for short range travel, or places where you genuinely need a mountain goat of a truck.
Yeah!!! 3rd!!
damm
My 2007 Lexus LX 470 (3 ton suv) with 97,000 miles does 19.2mpg highway.
Toyota only promises 17mpg highway, I am pleased.
Wrangler achieved 12.8mpg, that's a farcry from Jeep's claim of 20mpg.
It's fascinating that Jeep is till in business due to deadly combination of unreliability, unrefined interior fit & finish, poor quality, and gas guzzling characteristic.
Take the yj to hells revenge
Hope this is not your daily driver. What a large carbon foot print that thing must be leaving behind.
Who cares.
Typical non intelligent discharge.
Michael B. The driver probably doesn't.
Lol a dodge hellcat gets better mpgs.
Wranglers are very over rated :/
this car belongs to the junk yard. :D
with a 3spd the best speed would be around for 40 to 50 mph for best mpg
It makes the most fun to the gallon. There is more to a vehicle than fuel economy. Fuel economy is not a priority for me.
