So your beloved GW only gets 8mpg and gas is

[Louiseven]

$4.91 for 91 octane $4.63 for regular 87???

[fulsizjeep]

$4.04 for 85/86 octane
Calif drivers always seem to get the rotorooter on fuel

[Heavy_Metal_Thunder_81]

hoverin around $4.15~$4.25, every once in awhile Ill see $4.08 and Ill quickly jump on it and top off. I get a bout 9~12 MPG depending on what Im doing and have to fill up every 3~4 days. So, 18 gallon tank averages ~$75 every 3~4 days.

sounds like time for a tune-up.
when I bought my truck I got about 6 mpg.
just by a tune-up, related parts, and correct vacuum routing Im now at about 14.

My hats go off to all you people who drive a fsj as DD. I freak with 25-30mpg with my DD

[Chucks1911]

$3.85 a gallon here. If I was worried about the cost of gas, I for sure wouldnt be working on getting my Honcho road ready.

[Bama Burden]

$3.89 here for 87. My '84 GW is my DD. It sucks but I get by on about $80/week in gas.

[mattmopar440]

about $4.15 but drops to the low fours every once and a while the grand-wag with its might 401 8-10 my J-10 with its gas sipping 2bbl averages in the mid to high teens

Plus we get the added benefit of looking at all of those beautiful oil wells pumping all the time and refineries too.. You'd think they'd be giving the stuff away around here. Here in Bakersfield, we are usually among the highest in the state too!

8MPG? Seriously? That's horrible....rebuild that carb? Probably has a blown power valve?

My '88 lifted with 33's gets way better than that.

I dd my '77 J10. I have a b!ch!n job though. I go 4 miles to the office and take the co. '00 Super Duty with the 7.? diesel and I have a co. gas card. It is quite suprising just how powerfull it is.

I just tried to fill up the J on Mon. My debit has a limit of $75 and that did not fill it up... It was at 4.17 for premium and that was with a 10 cent discount from Safeway.

Been tuned up...plugs, wires, cap, rotor, new carb, dialed in the carb, 16k on the motor......plus a lead foot.... And yes its my daily.

If it's any consolation, we in AZ get your gas for at least 30 cents cheaper.

I pity the fools who pay 500 a month, plus 200 more in insurance, to get 10 MPG. Unless they work in a cubicle. Then I just point and laugh like:

[El Jefe]

Our gas is 3.92. and thats why my jeep is sittin. get outta debt, then play with jeep. thats what the wife keeps telling me.

8MPG thats with a rebuilt carb, new cat, and a tune-up. Although it is time for another tune-up. Probably will just buy a new carb this time.

hence why I bought a commuter vehicle now.... it is $3.82 at the cheapest place in Castle Rock, CO for regular, and $4.02 for premium.

Jeep 12-13 mpg
VW passat commuter = 24 mpg With 4 motion(4wd)
