* Maintenance: Regular maintenance (oil changes, tune-ups, etc.) dramatically impacts longevity and fuel efficiency. A well-maintained Jeep will get better mileage.
* Driving habits: Aggressive driving, frequent stop-and-go traffic, and towing will all lower fuel economy.
* Terrain: Driving primarily off-road will significantly reduce fuel efficiency compared to highway driving.
* Vehicle condition: A vehicle with significant wear and tear will likely have worse gas mileage than one in excellent condition.
While you won't find a universally agreed-upon average, you can expect to see somewhere between 15 and 20 miles per gallon (mpg), with 17 mpg being a reasonable estimate. However, this is just an approximation, and your actual mileage could be higher or lower. To get a better idea of what to expect, you could check resources like Kelley Blue Book or Edmunds, which often provide fuel economy estimates based on user reports.
