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.

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).

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

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.

I asked you do all three I read was on the dash and I reset the trip on my dashboard can I watch how much it takes to fill? I get a receipt every time I fill it up.
