Nah I don't believe in gasoline fuel additives. Usually, even if your mpg goes up, the cost benefitt is nil. I have run high performance sedans in my day, and running premium gas would get me 3 to 4 more mpg. I do not trust additives for gas. Diesel additives are another story. lateeron

My 04 Wrangler is also MPG variable. Even when I make an effort to drive the same it gets different MPG. I'm not talking about 2-3 mpg but up to 10 miles per 1st quarter tank (approx 5 gals).
I did notice that turning OFF my overdrive gave me a consistant (every trip) 10 more miles per quarter tank. Who'd a thunk turning it OFF gave better mpg!?
I normally get 10-12 mpg. On trips to Lake Arrowhead I can get up to 15 (maybe a 16)at 5 gals per 1st quarter tank.
When I installed 4:10's and with overdrive ON I get 10 more miles per quarter. about 60 miles instead of 50 for 1st quarter.
On very rare occasions I'll get 65 to 70 miles per first quarter (that means more then 4 times). (Once and only once, I got 80 per 1st quarter - I was ecstatic - but don't know why and was never duplicated.) But a consistant 60 is really something to talk about.
Reseting the computer doesn't seem to help. It either learns too quick or picks up old info - so nothing seems to change.

My 95 Wrangler averages a little over 17 mpg.....seriously. Sometimes I get 20 mpg (if the wife doesn't drive it ). I use the mid grade stuff.
