Trouble is sometimes the cost of servicing is more than the saving on fuel.
To the OP..I got about 32mpg in mine.

Slightly better at a true 34 mpg urban to/from work, but I drive it sympathetically. Hopefully this week we will get our first run on a motorway so I can see what I get then. Before I purchased the Jimny I " googled" the real MPG figure which was a reported 35MPG (not 39MPG as given by Suzuki), so my 34MPG seems about correct. I swapped from a VW TDI that averaged 57MPG, so I was aware my fuel costs were going up!!!
That said my " VW in the dealers again for another warning light fix ££££" bills have come way down and I actually enjoy driving the Jimny.
I have a completely standard 2009 M13AA vvt with aircon etc.

You can drive them really slowly and get 35mpg and be very bored. Or you can thrash them, get 30mpg and have a bit of fun doing it. The difference is 2.5p per mile, so I do the latter.

I should have added that mine was an auto and you expect fewer mpg. I used to drive it sensibly with most of the driving in urban conditions too. Even if I did a careful motorway run it still returned much the same. I have no idea what a tankful would give in range as I don't work my consumption out that way - I prefer to know the mpg.
