Interesting data for the lifted TJ Guys

I know this might be a miniscule point of data but JD's lifted TJ with 3.73's got 17mpg when I drove it down here 2 weeks ago! Amazing considering it was loaded down with luggage, tools, and rolling on the 33's...

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

yes it does.  automatics rob about 15-25% of your power through friction of the clutch plates, to move your vehicle. there's a lot of "slippage" inside an auto that make the engine work harder to maintain the same speed.  standards are a "direct" drive system with no parts inside to rob horse power.  that's why a standard is rated at higher hp at the wheels.
