My 3.6L Wrangler isn't exactly fuel-efficient. Under normal driving conditions, it averages around 14-16 liters per 100 km in the city and can drop to about 11 liters on the highway. There are many factors affecting this, such as switching to off-road tires which can increase fuel consumption by a couple of percentage points, and driving habits—aggressive acceleration or frequent braking will burn more fuel. Proper maintenance, like regular air filter and oil changes, can slightly improve efficiency. Compared to other SUVs, the Wrangler is more off-road-oriented, with a heavier body that naturally consumes more fuel, but camping enthusiasts find it worthwhile. I always try to maintain a steady speed and avoid congested areas in the city, which can save around a hundred bucks in monthly fuel costs. The key is not to drive too frequently and make good use of cruise control.
