Using the jeepfan.com JK we tested out what the cost difference really is. During a few trail runs to Rausch Creek we kept track of the total fuel usage and applied it to $2.00/gallon gas vs. $4.00/gallon.
From our home base to Rausch Creek it’s about 60 miles one way. We filled the JK and set off for RC.
We wheeled the Jeep all day and drove it back and used less than 1/2 a tank of gas or roughly 9 gallons. Not bad fuel usage for a Jeep.
