    02 TJ ex manual. 143+++ km's done. Had this ride for around 6 weeks now. Currently getting 350-375k's per tank. Thats cause its city start-stop driving only.

    That sounds very very low, despite being city start-stop driving

    Just as a guide the worst average I've ever had in my manual TJ Sports is 12.1. Got 14.2 once over a 15 minute period, which was peak hour traffic, air con on full blast, 40 degree ambient temp, and giving it a bootful every time a gap opened in the traffic.
