I am getting 20 MPG on longer trips, and 15-16 on shorter trips. Does not matter to me though, I call it SMILES PER MILES!! Best vehicle I have ever owned, and I have owned some really nice rides
I could live with that MPG, but having to use premium fuel was the deal breaker for me. I love the 5.7 HEMI in my RAM 1500 (I get about 17 - 19 MPG) and wish they would have went with that instead of the 6.4.
Understood. Need for premium was a tough pill to swallow but once I heard that exhaust it was over. 5.7 in the JL would have been a solid choice for a number of reasons.
I fill at half tanks. And I agree, I do the same . Really it compares to my rubicon on 38’s. I’m at 17 also. To everyone who has the 392, this video is spot on.
I got my black jeep wrangler 392 xtreme recon and i dont get miles per gallon i get smiles per gallon and im very happy. I use the cruise control and the highest i got was 16 miles per gallon on highway, but since i just got it like 2 months ago i cant keep my foot off the pedal
Wow hyper-miling with a hemi, that's a first. I love it, you have way more patience than I'd be the guy leading and probably on a first name basis with all the cops in my state.
Curious to see how mine does on fuel offroad. I want some jerry cans to take with but I don't have time to get anything mounted before my trip to Moab.
If it makes you feel better, this is better MPG that I got on my 1990 4 liter Jeep Wrangler, this is actually pretty efficient, but after owning an 800 h.p. speed boat, everything seems efficient.
I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and thats about the MPG I get. I dont use the ECO 4cylinder mode at all. Im experimenting with about 30% E85 and 70% 87 octane to save some money over premium 93 octane fuel. Im running weekly videos of it.
@@jeepn392 Not yet brother but getting damn close. Actually certain areas of Southern Calif are Just at 7 but I’m between 6.40 and 6.80 here. I’ve decided if it hits 8 my 392 goes up for sale. Only have 2900 miles but can’t afford to even enjoy it
17 mog is bad at all. My old Ford F350 with a V10, and 4 speed automatic rarely got 12 mpg on the highway. I ran 35's on it, and had a lot of fun driving it. But I'm hoping to order a 392 Wrangler soon.
@@TheLishmac Nice. I was thinking about going with the 4Xe, but once I heard the exhaust note of the 392 it was over... 4Xe would have been perfect for my short commute though.
@@TheLishmac Agreed. 13 isn't bad, and I'm ok with that. Stop and wait traffic kills the MPG though and may result in lower numbers if your commute has a lot of long waits (392 does not have stop start tech.)
Thanks! I’m running AEV Borah wheels with Falken AT3W all terrains for the winter. Planning to put 35 inch mud terrains on the stock wheels this summer.

Better a V8 2-door gladiator. 👍 ...as long as all the cool guys in Hollywood movies are driving muscle cars, Hollywood can't preach me to drive a Prius.
I don't know. Scoping out drafting situations on the highway sounds like you should step down a notch. It's a beast (just like my 1970 Chevelle). I really never thought about drafting another car to a show.
Ha ha. It is a beast and a total blast…and my daily driver. Won’t be stepping down but will continue looking for opportunities to “hyper-mile” the hemi on boring interstate drives. 😄
Hey! Love the setup, I just ordered mine and I can’t wait for it to arrive!!! Question… do you feel the need to re-gear after adding the 35’s without having the Xtreme recon gearing?
Thanks and congratulations! I think you will love the 392. I was initially concerned about the 3.73 gears, but I have felt no need to re-gear after moving to 35’s (For my use case here in the Midwest). Took the Jeep to a nearby off road park for a shakedown run and was impressed with the performance on 35’s crawling in 4-Low. Zero issues with the 3.73s on the street.
@@jeepn392 Awesome! Yea I currently have a 2015 JK with 35’s and I never re-geared and it drives fine but it is pretty sluggish whenever I need to speed up lol. So I’m excited to see how the 392 will perform
@@SupaGooser7001I had the same issue with my 2019 Rubicon 2 door with the 3.6 liter v6. One I moved to 35,s the Jeep was super sluggish. I think you will be impressed with the 392. The torque of the 6.4 makes all of the difference.
@@SupaGooser7001 Nothing added to the stock 392 suspension, but my AEV wheels do have backspacing that pushes the tires out a bit further than stock. I think you would be fine running 35 inch tires on the stock wheels with no issues. 37 s would require additional lift but would probably fit with slight rubbing and zero available flex.
What warn winch do you have on there, and did you install it yourself? Thanks BTW, my 2012 rubicon penta-star with absolutely no modifications or tire size changes at all got around 15.5 to 16 mpg. I just ordered a 392 before they are gone
Congrats on ordering the 392! I think you will love it. I have the Warn Evo using the Rusty's Offroad winch plate. I installed it myself and actually did a quick video providing some tips on the install. It can be a tedious task but was easier the second time I did the install.
@@jeepn392 thank you and I have to correct my original statement. There is no order…I tried but would not allow for the order to be completed when I added the extreme recon package. Then I read that it was discontinued in February of 22 (that may or may not be totally correct). So I searched the web and everyone said it was gone so I lost interest because without the XR package I didn’t like it as much. THEN I saw one for sale in Springfield TN at Gupton Motors and I figured it was just a lure and they didn’t really have it. Checked it on 9-4-22, then drove there to pick it up on 9-7-22 after putting a deposit on it over the phone. Sarge green in the XR package. How lucky is that. They said it just came in and they contacted the guy that ordered it and he backed out. Then a couple folks tried to buy it but couldn’t. I am really impressed with it. So far it has been tinted and the warm winch is next.
4Xe would have been the perfect choice for my commute and would have made more sense in many ways, but once I heard the exhaust of the 392 I had to have it!
@@jeepn392 oh yeah I know that feeling I used to have a Nissan titan with a banks exhaust on it and upgraded headers. It would wake the neighbors loved it
You are getting better fuel economy than I get in my 2002 Dakota R/T, LOLOLOL and you have 220 more HP with giant tires, hahahaha. 13 pure city is damn good.
just for comparison I had 2018 2 door sport s , had 305 65 17 that was 33 inch got 20 to 21 average .in rule driving where I had some stop an go got 20 to 23 . start flat high way with no head wind got 23. my new gladiator with same 3.6 and same tires luck to get19 on highway. lift and gears make big difference
@@jeepn392 I like it except for gas milage.i have been looking at epa mandates . my. original plan was to daily drive my jeep for 6 more years then buy a truck but when I saw all the co 2 regulations coming in 2026 thought I would make the jump now. I plan to run the wheels off this one than do a v8 swap. I think v8 trucks will be few and far between.
So let’s get that sticker mileage back, if you are going to keep the 35” tires on you need to run a 4.10 gear The 392 is designed and programmed to compensate for load under torque and going with a bigger tire with a 373 gear creates constant load Thus the poor gas mileage around town👨🏽🔧
Not much different from my 2013 Chrysler 300 srt8. 6.4 with the 5 spd auto. Highway was 22.5-23 mpg. City babying it 16 mpg. City driving a srt8 like a srt8, 11-12 mpg.
If your worried about mpg in a Jeep….don’t buy one

Thought I was doing something wrong. Glad to see that’s the normal gas mileage for Gladiator.

What can you usually get with a full tank? 392 arriving soon, bit scared.
I'm owner of Subaru WRX + stage2 mod. For sure 392 does better MPG than my Subaru. Now I bought Rubicon 392 and drive it daily.
So it safe to say with 35s I wouldn't need to re-gear the ring and pinion?
No you should be good with 37's too.
Damn you have 93 Octane where your at! Good for you. We only have 91 here in Calif. what are you paying for fuel where you’re located?
