14.7L/100km’s combined.

That’s about what I’d have thought for a big square brick. Pretty good actually for what it is.

Just picked up the wife, 30 kilometre round trip and its sitting on 10.7l/100km.
Like I said I enjoy putting the foot down too, it gets off the line very nicely and smoothly through the gears. I'm getting slightly better economy with the Gladiator than I did with my 2 door JK.

Slightly? My 2 door JK Rubicon does 16l/100kms. My wife's 4 door JL Overland does 9.6l/100kms for the same trip.

I was always sitting around the high 11's in my 2 door JK's, had 2 of them, both 6 speed manual. Both pretty much stock, only slightly larger tyres.
