Well I finally got my '89 GW tuned in to where it was performing like I had been wanting/expecting it to finally, and today was it's first road trip on the highway and I am pleased with the results. Previously I had been getting somewhere between 10-11 MPG on the highway and wasn't expecting much better than this, but on this 300 mile round-trip excursion I averaged over 13 MPG!

It might not be that great but with a 4" lift, 32" Swampers, 3.73 gears, and the A/C blowing cold the whole time at 65-70 MPH I thought that was pretty good. I felt that I needed to share my excitment with my FSJ friends. :thumbsup:

Very good. That is what mine got stock going to Colorado in '03. 15 on the way home (down hill all the way to Texas).

Thanks everyone. I hope it keeps getting somewhere near that from now on, but I'll be happy with 11-12 for sure.

It's just madness, only a FSJ owner would be happy with 11-12. LOL!
Seriously, glad you got 'er running good.
