Just while we're on about consumption, what are you CJ guys getting from your 360's ?..........I often wonder about a fuel injected v8 in a TJ.....mmm   The Novac guys say customers are getting 26-27 mpg out of a 6.0l i  but could they mean Meters Per Gallon ?

8-12 mpg out of my v8 360, 4.11 diffs on 31" tyres. That said I don't think the mileometer is accurate. At the moment I'm getting very good fuel consumption as it hasn't left the garage for a month.

Still trying. Part and parcel of owning a CJ I guess.

had my V8 WJ for about 5 years, average about 17-20, LPG'd it last year now mega cheap to run. I pay 29p per litre hee hee.

Can't rate it high enough, love it. Gorgeous contrast after running about in the TJ all weekend, big, comfy, smooth and quick. I've put a BB on it and ATs and its pretty sorted off road with Quadradrive, awesome.

Loads about now for around 8k, shit loads of car for your money. Too much overhang and low crossmember for real off road playing but you climb a steep hill and it just walks all over the TJ.

My 4.7 is capable of destroying the ozone layer all on its own . . .

Don,t care how much fuel it uses , i just love it . . .

Mind you the fuel price here in Bulgaria is close to that of the UK , In Moscow , my previous location it was cheaper than water . . .

It also runs on LPG , so i can eat sometimes as well . . . .
