To all those new Gladiator owners. I am using E10 as recommended here in Australia which is 94 octane. I am struggling to get below 20L/100km which equates to 11.76 US mpg. I don't drive erratically. Most of the driving is around town at around 50 - 60 km/h. I find the gearing seems to hold the revs too high also. On a long trip cannot get below 15L/100km or 15.68 US mpg. Any tips would be appreciated.

What RPM do you consider high? Most modern motors are designed to rev a little higher at an optimum speed for best efficiency. Will also hold a lower gear until warmed up.
Might need to ask other owners on the JL JT forum. And if you ask questions on a US forum you may need to explain we use RON octane rating, different to US.
