A question for you new Rubicon owners.I've found most auto's to be hard on fuel. Has anyone checked to see what their getting for gas mileage on their new machine. If I spelled anything wong
gest shoot me. Thanks

 

Hey Aroostook I used to live in Houlton I live in Caribou now. I have found most autos 20-25mpg. depending on how driven and all that.

 

Have not calculated the actual mileage yet, but my Rubicon gets somewhere between 1/2 to 2/3 the mileage the Rancher gets. I was very surprised at the gas consumption.

 

My Rubi sucks down the gas pretty good. It uses quite a bit more than my 450ES did. Ehh...just a small trade off for a lot more power. I'm still very satisfied with it, and wouldn't trade it for anything.

 

I've heard from a few idiots that they get around 40-45 miles to the gallon, but I've also heard of people who have seen both Elvis and a UFO in the same weekend. These people don't get out much, and normally live near the foothills of Tennesee. I wouldn't believe much over 25 myself.

 

Not even a chance they get that kind of mileage. But like someone else stated, I wouldn't trade it in for anything right now.

 

I was just wondering how miles on tank you would be able to get out of it?Has anyone tried it,I have untill december to get mine and sure hope that it's not as bad as it sounds by the responses so far.

 

How large is the Ruby tank? the SP 5.5 which makes it good for 90 or better miles.

 

I had mine out for the first time lasst weekend. My tank was almost full before my trip. I went 30 miles and still had a little over a 1/4 tank. I haven't done the math but it seems terrible. I was told it should get better mileage after the breakin period is over. I imaging I'll get close to 65 and 70 per tank before having to switch to reserve.

 

Come on guys. 7 posts with everybody hedging their answers. Is it less than 20 or more like 15?
