I can get as bad as just under 300kms per tank or around 400, and sometimes I think it has more to do with the fuel than where I am driving?
When we were towing it was not that much different, surprisingly
and my set up is the same as you Big T except yours is Auto!

With the TJ's aerodynamics likened to a smaller brick sitting on a larger brick with wheels I have found that speed has a lot to do with fuel economy. Sitting on 125kph I get about 17 to 18l per 100km, slow it down to 100kph and it drops to around 15l per 100km.

My 97 3 speed auto TJ can't seem to get much better than 15l per 100km so I don't worry about it anymore.

Well I am getting a average of 450ks upto 500ks on a recent run. Mine is a 03 H/T TJ with the 4 speed auto. Which I'm happy with that... way better than the 250k average per 60lt I get out of the CJ10

Lexx,
I get regular replacements from the chrysler jeep pirates...they blame my curiosity of mudholes....It's all good, they keep replacing them at no charge....They are pretty detirmined to get it all sorted(cheers boys if your lerking)I think they are just tired of me harrasing them and drinking all their refrreshments.
