Better off driving a full size 3/4 ton desiel with all the bells and whistles and get almost twice the economy as the Jeep, and be comfortable too!
I'll never understand it

It seems I was off in my calculations. My wife has driven my 300 20 miles round trip to work the last two days. She had 3/4 tank when she started. It's at 1/2 tank now. 40 miles driven and 5gals used is 8mpg. So it's actually worse than I thought.

Stop fvcking around with this. FILL THE TANK, RESET THE TRIP ODOMETER, DRIVE IT AND FILL THE TANK AGAIN. Divide the mileage by the gallons and you will quickly find out the real MPG. Doing the equation off the gas guage will get you nowhere!
If you wife drives 20 miles a day to work round trip, gas mileage shouldn't even be a consideration. That is 100 miles a week commuting, nothing in real world.
