The sticker put on the window when the vehicle was so being sold should say the expected MPG given the conditions that MPG is evaluated under. For example, 24.

Large tires with an improper axel gear ratio can lead to bad mileage. The Wrangler and JT are like bricks so air resistance due to speed, or wind is a big factor. My Wrangler seems to do 20% better just by driving 10 MPH slower on the highway.

From Google's AI response, I see that MPG is evaluated at 60 MPH, or below. Many of us spend a lot of time driving much faster than that. Maybe a peak of 80 MPH is more typical than 60 MPH:

EPA-rated MPG is evaluated using two main laboratory test cycles: city (averaging 21 mph, max 56 mph) and highway (averaging 48 mph, peaking at 60 mph).
