38mpg

Some time ago I saw some discussions about mpg for a Jimny. I have recently done another check and I am getting 38.5 mpg which I think is pretty good. Not done any serious off roading (yet) and my driving is mainly city, and some longer rural trips.
I have always had a bee in my bonnet about only using the best engine oil so I use a fully synthetic Castrol Edge 5-40 in the belief that the less friction there is in the engine the better my fuel consumption will be. Although I am a cautious driver I am not slow.
I am surprised at how good the mpg is as I have always found the gearing to be too low. I can tootle along at 25 to 30 without labouring the engine in top gear which seems unusual. My Jimny is 2006 and it is completely unmodified.

think its about time you fit 31" tyres, full roll cage, winch, rocklobster and carry half a tonne of recovery equipment :laugh: :side: :whistle:

I get 32-34mpg ish on AT tyres on short (less than 10mile trips)

Recently gone for high spec oil and a redex treatment to see if anything is improved

i get 32 / 36 mpg with my mods :silly:

back wind???? :laugh:

I get 12-15mpg if i'm lucky I tow mine behind a shogun which uses less fuel.

My new spark plugs have improved efficiency, but not clocked it yet, and don't plan on filling the tank as my jimny is not a daily driver, except when she is out and I don't want to use my works van.
