If I see 230miles to this tank I'll be happy. I know the gas light is bound to come on by tonight or tomorrow night(not doing much driving between tonight and tomorrow) and I'm only at ~200 miles before correcting for the 31s.

And I don't know if it counts, but I've seen single digits before in my KK. Last winter I pulled 8mpg off. That was a blizzard and a ton of messing around in rwd though.

So now that you say correcting for 31s how do i do that?

Stock tire size is roughly 29", we run 245/75-16 which is roughly 31"(just under actually). The difference between the 2 is about 4%. So what you do is multiply your mileage by 4%. So say you put a 100 miles on it. 100 * .04 = 4. So add 4 to the 100 for a corrected total. Or in less steps multiply your current mileage by 1.04. That will do the addition for you.

So the 200 miles on my tank is actually 208miles.

Is there a way to correct my odometer/speedometer so i don't have to do all that

I think the dealer can do it. But I don't know how close they can get it. Hypertech might be able to as well. Gage would probably know. I've just learned to add a few mph to what I'm doing and do the math in my head. You figure at 65mpg you're going closer to 67. 75mph is closer to 78/79.

I filled up tonight for 17.35

245 miles from 14 gallons
2in lift, 255/70/16 Cooper discoverers, no stock bumpers, full skids, 4.7 throttle, and a magnaflow.

Good rule of thumb I have found after having a tank where I only got 13mpg is... If you can keep your rpms around 2kish on the highway you'll end up with a decent mpg

Dealer may be your best best. I believe a few members here have had it done there.
You can do it with the Hypertech if you have the Max Energy one, but I haven't read too much success doing it this way.

Bmxer524 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 17, 2014 11:37 pm

Filled up today. 12.85mpg woohooo :roll:

On the bright side, I paid $2.97 a gallon :pepper:

You are doomed this Winter! I see 10mpg in your near future. :ROTFL:

I see 8-9mpg. Honestly, my mileage doesn't really change anymore. I'm so used to it. When we get a ton of snow mile mileage drops just from messing about.

I still try my hardest in Winter for mileage. I use 4 wheel drive as little as possible and try not to use my defrosters. Obviously never idle...
Actually somewhat excited to put my new tires to use. I had them installed after all the crazy snow storms.

I got 15.6mpg yesterday when I filled up for $3.09 per gallon. That's the cheapest I've seen in a long time!

Meanwhile...I'm down here paying less than $2.50 a gallon! ($2.499, it counts!)

Installed my dash camera. I don't have any driving to do today, so tomorrow I'll give it a try.
If it's easy to figure out, I'll try to upload a video showing the quality.

How does it receive power? Cigarette plug? Is it always on or do you need to turn it on each time you start the Jeep?

lfhoward · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2014 8:15 pm

The dash cam would be good for documenting off-road adventures in the Pine Barrens or Rausch Creek ORV Park. :twisted:

I made it to the 100 club this evening... Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about it haha..

40k of those miles were driven by yours truly.

Older KKs have a L in the PRND lineup? That's different than the 11+, possibly other years.

I have an 08, I wasn't aware there was a difference.

If its any consolation I do not have a full time 4wd option for my 4x4 selection only 4x4 lock and 4x4 lo

Cigarette plug. It's on as soon as you turn on the Jeep. Also, if it senses impact when it's off, it'll turn on to capture what hit you (hopefully).
