    Average MPG for the '02 owners?

    Average MPG for the '02-'05 4.0 owners? Mines a 2002 xlt 2wd, and the sticker that came on the vehicle quoted an average between 13-19 city, and 18-24 highway. Just wondering if these numbers have proven accurate to those with similar trims (if the trim type even matters). I have new 255/70/16...
