gas
hey, does anybody have a rough idea of how many "gallons per hour" my TJ will use while off-roading? I went out on a run the other week just to "get used to" off-roading, and noticed that gas disappears very quickly, especially going up large hills or in 4L. I have a 4.0L Auto.
Basically, I'm wondering how long you think it would take to eat up all 19 gallons if I was in the backcountry.

Hi Mike, I suppose there are a ton of variables involved here, but I can tell you I have spent more then a few full days in Low range crawling out here in the east and I have never used up more then 12 gals off road in any single day.
Some of these days have been quite long, over 12 hours. Thats the best I can do to give you some very variable guidance. Hope it helps. Frank |

As Frank said, lots of variables involved.
Several of us did a Rubicon run and we spent the better part of 3 days on the trail (about 8 hrs per day). I had more than 1/3 tank left when I finished (started pretty close to full). That was with a stick and 4:1 t-case. If I remember correctly, Robert used about the same amount with his automatic tranny. Day #2 of the trip was spend in low range, 1st gear, all day long. FWIW, we traveled about 18 miles over those 3 days. |
