What kind of gas mileage does a 1976 jeep CJ5 get?

A 1976 Jeep CJ-5's gas mileage is notoriously poor, generally ranging from 8 to 12 miles per gallon (mpg). This is highly dependent on several factors, including:

* Engine size: The larger the engine, the lower the MPG.

* Transmission: Automatic transmissions generally get slightly worse fuel economy than manuals.

* Terrain: Off-road driving drastically reduces fuel efficiency.

* Driving style: Aggressive acceleration and high speeds will lower MPG.

* Vehicle condition: Proper maintenance and tune-ups can help improve fuel economy, but only to a limited extent.

Expect the lower end of that range (8 mpg) or even less under less-than-ideal conditions. You should not expect to achieve the higher end of that range consistently.
