Just finished 18 day road trip with our 21 Overland from Rochester, NY to Montana to Colorado back to Rochester to ski the Rockies, Jeep was awesome vehicle to spend this much seat time in.

V6 4X4, I set cruise anywhere from 74 to 78 when cruising on I90 out west and I70 heading east from Denver. Even when speed limit was 80 I wasn’t trying to drive engine hard and kept RPM’s around 2K and pulling long uphills I would even knock speed back to 72 or 73 to only have one downshift or maybe into 6 gear if needed for as short as possible. I wasn’t in a hurry to get anywhere and since I will have this GC as long as possible wanted to be nice to her.
Oil was changed at dealer before I left and just checked today and did not use a drop of oil entire trip 👍. Since new I have had oil changed at dealer when down to 20% which has typically been 6 -7K OCI’s.
This GC was a pleasure to drive and very glad we chose the Overland edition.
Of all the places to live 🤣

We have a 2020 Summit V6 4x2 and get similar mpg (24ish) on I-10 heading out West with cruise set at 75-80.
Both SWMBO and I love the JGC for long distance road trips.
Thanks for posting! Your mpg’s help verify the 2-3 mpg difference between the Pentastar and the HEMI.
