I thought I'd share my real world MPG after 3 months of commuting back and forth to work. This is the before and after I converted to 2WD + Electric Fan in mostly stop and go traffic.

Before (Stock 4.0 SOHC, 4WD):
14.46
15.81
15.28
13.48
15.85
13.47
Average 14.72

After (Removed front axle + Electric Fan):
16.49
16.96
17.05
16.42
16.49
16.01
17.13
Average: 16.65 MPG

Difference of 1.93 MPG. Plus the added power to the wheels. :thumbsup:
