What kind of gas mileage do you get in yours

18 ish

Is anyone driving a 2023 gladiator?

No. They skipped the 2023 model year for the Gladiator.

I’m only getting 10 city on my 2023 gladiator

Are you dragging an anchor

 

[71emiller]

Nope, the dealer told me that is the perfect gas mileage on that

 

[jeeeep]

is it stock?

my 2022 JT got 18ish around town, better on the freeway

 

[bobfriesenhahn]

The sticker put on the window when the vehicle was 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.

You need a new dealer.

My truck’s all factory is the Willy series and it said 19 under the window sticker

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).

In that case, your truck is drinking more gas than it should be. Something is wrong!

Yep, I know, but the dealership says there’s nothing wrong. They put it on the computer. Nothing shows up.

They should check your brakes because you must be dragging them. Lol

When you evaluate MPG, do you use the reading on the dash, or do you capture the mileage each time you fill up, and how much gas it took to fill up?

Capture real data and bring it to the dealership. If the dealership does not help you, then change dealerships. Some dealerships really suck. I have been guilty with sticking with a failing dealership a couple of times (actually two dealerships owned by the same company). Once you encounter a good dealership, then you will know.

Jeep does have an obligation to deliver MPG reasonably close to what they promised the government.
