Is it lifted or bigger tyres ? Age ? Soft Top ?

All of these will have an effect.

I run 33 mud tyre's on 4.56 ratios and get about 400km's on freeway driving .. around town it would be a lot less.

TJ's are a 4 litre straight 6 so they do chew the gas.

its a 2000 model, soft top, no snorkel.. no gas just petrol, is there any jeep thing that you can put on to get more ks. do the throttle body spacers just give more power if they even do that?

If she's a lead foot .. and it's around town .. then I dont think it's too unrealistic .. pending year / tyre size / lift ..

Rag tops have dodgy economy due to the shit house aerodynamics of the bricks.

Could be other... ?? Sensor's ? Get a dealer or someone to plug it in and check it's codes .. might be something relevant in it.

I reckon 350k's around town isn't too bad out of a TJ.
They only really take about 60L of fuel max because of the way the gauge sender is set up...

Not too many petrol 4B's do 16L/100 around town.....

On stock tyres you'll do 500klm from a tank like i used to. Now i'm on 32's it does about 400klm's per tank. But economy differs depending on use. I managed to get 12L/100klm up the beach last week whereas the next day on the hwy towing the camper trailor i was doing 18L/100klm.
