First Road Trip

Over the Thanksgiving holiday I decided to finish up the final test of the jeep's drivability and reliabilty.I drove about 175 niles from Norfolk to Manassas and back. It's was a true test through highway speed and plenty of grueling traffic. The trip north lasted about 3 hour and I was sore, but really pleased once I got there. I did a couple basic calculations based on estimating the tank capacity and mileage. My rough estimate was about 24 mpg. Not bad for a Jeep with 35" tires. I imagine when I add the intercooler and the weather is a little better I may see 28-30mpg.I think a lot of guys who do this swap are concerned with the mileage. To be honest, I did it for other reasons and that was just a plus.  I'll try and get more detailed estimates as time goes on. I need to swap in the correct speedo gear for my setup.
