You have got it so right!!

Try it also with a roof rack, big tyres, a bull bar, a rear bar, drawers and who knows what else you can add to it. With the JK more bloated and weightier than my gut, its a wonder it can move at all. Like me!!

And I always carry a Ventolin puffer in the glove box. What... you think it is for me? Nah, mates... 4 quick bursts and a prayer or two and the JK just might get up that hill...

You might be onto something with the ventolin puffer, replace with a small hand held nitrous puffer and I think we could have a big seller !

I put regular unleaded in mine, love to put the foot down and am getting 10.8 L/100ks and have always been around there since I bought it. Mixture of highway and around town. Got just under 10 thousand K's on it.

That’s great economy. The best I’ve read about by a mile. The US Jeep forums are suggesting way more in their JT Rubicon’s using ULP. Combined seems to be more like 14l/100km so you have a really good one. Maybe been detuned a little or something for better economy?
