Impressive. 6 speed? Not like it really matters though I guess. The OD ratios are only a couple hundredths off (5 vs 6). Maybe its just the tall tires? Hell, the 3.73 might actually do better since your motor isnt working as hard to get moving from a stop like my 3.07s

5 speed, I'm real picky when it comes to maintenance, air pressure, wheel weight, etc...
You know you drive a TJ when 320 miles out of a tank is crazy news!

I have 31's and 3.73's with a 5 speed, but i think we have like 21 gas gallon tanks, and when my gas gage says E, i usually fill up with 15-16 gallons. too much of a wussy to just keep driving on Empty.
Best MPG ive ever had was 23. driving to moab drafting my friend trailering his rubi with a camper on the back of his duramax. Going 60 miles per hour in 4th gear. not 5th. I dont think i could do that twice if you asked me to. I usually hover around 14-16 mpg.

You know you drive a TJ when your girlfriend is pregnant and after the initial "Woohoo!" your second thought is "I'm gonna have to put a full cage in the Jeep if I'm takin an little baby wheelin..."
