95 wrangler

I'd give it a tune up.

My '95 YJ 4 cyl, 5sp, soft top gets almost 22...I drive it 133 miles a day back and forth to work.

My wife's '94 YJ, 6 cyl, 5sp, soft top gets almost the same mileage. She puts almost 90 miles a day on hers.

My son has a '95 YJ 4cyl, auto, soft top and he says his mileage is much worse than this, but he can't give me an exact figure. Maybe it has something to do with the automatic tranny.

ok thanks, any modifications anyone would recommend on a 95 wrangler to get more mpg?

Wear light shoes or sandals instead of boots....

Seriously, there are none. Maybe you could fashion a rocket type nose cone out of some kinda hightech see through polymer and mount it over the windshield-grill....I've had a few windy days here where a sail would have helped.... Again, seriously... don't try any high tech or even low tech gadgets that 'claim' to improve milage and performance. 99% of them are just made to take your money. I don't even know if the other 1% exist... Nick

Go slower.

Your YJ has all of the aerodynamics of a brick on a rollerskate. The harder you mash the pedals, the more gas it will suck up.

thanks, I plan to keep it a long time, how much would the modification cost, aproximately?

Chad, why are you posting as "Melinda Jones?"

It is unlikely you will find a modification that will save you money. You might spend $1500 getting a great exhaust system, header--->cat--->muffler (parts, labor ($77/hour), and tax). If it gave you 1mpg better.... and you drove 12,000 miles a year. If you have 15mpg you will use 800 gallons a year, if you have 16mpg a year, you will use 750 gallons a year. 50 gallons X $2.09 = $104.50 savings in fuel a year. (this is assuming you pay $2.09 a gallon) So, after 15 years you will have saved a few bucks on gas.

Mark12211 did pass the time by typing:

Yep. The best way to save gas is to stay off the skinny pedal and anticipate lights. Sadly this is also the way to irritate most of the loonie drivers out there by not drag racing between lights. :/ Just by watching my driving style I found it was possible to eek out another 2mpg.

I just roll trips together and cut out driving like lunch, gonna start packing a sack lunch for work and shave off 10 miles a day.

Don't overlook the repairs, just running a few pounds low on the tires will cost. An old O2 sensor can cause your vehicle to run rich, and a clogged air filter will also make milage suffer.
