Remember this?

Ok... so I found this old commercial from 1981 Pay attention to the MPG rating at the end...

ok i have to call bullshit on that! i had a bone stock 76 cj5 that got 10 on the freeway.

Wait. Remember that the speed limit was 55 back then! but still....

Surprised you remember that commercial, Kenny?
That was the same year you were still sucking on your momma's titties! LOL

Yep, I was born in 81. I dont remember it, I was looking at old Jeep commercials and ran across that one. I do however remember this one.

I've heard rumors of the 151 cid Iron Duke that was available from 80-83' reaching close to 30mpg in several other vehicles and MPG in the mid 20's in CJ7's.

A whopping 90-98 hp pushing you down the road at 55mph must have made for a nice ride......ugh......

On the other hand I've owned a '77 CJ5 that got about 8mpg with a hopped up 304 V8 backed by the 3speed and a '78 CJ7 w/ a 401 V8 with an auto that got 10-12 mpg.

I bought my first CJ in 1986 several months before I turned 16 and got my license. In the last 25 years I've learned a thing or two about Jeeps/wheelin.

what...nobody mentioned the best Jeep commercial - the one with the Marlboro Man looking dude riding a friggin buffalo then he grabs a chick and they're both ridin it! In the end the mans man singer growls..."THERE'S A FEELING YOU CAN GET...only in a JEEP!" (as they focus in on the chicks face! LOL...what feelin is that mr Jeep man?!)
