Well my 4banger with 33" tires gets about 14ish. The faster I go the worst it gets. I would expect an I6 to get in that 17ish range (stock rubicon) Now Im not sure on the new ones. The Wranger 4dr that we rented in Cali (non rubicon) got 18- to 20.

Trent! The mpg in my 04 Grand Cherokee with an I6 ain't that good...14-16. I like the Jeep GC, but that motor is GUTLESS...yet bulletproof.

Thought I read somewhere you could get those with a deisel engine... I spose that's as rare as a TDI Volkswagen Jetta. [/quote I test drove one of those once, when they first came out, it was a rainy day, and I could keep from breaking the tires loose at every stoplight. Thing had lots of power! Don't think they sold many, and they had EGR problems. You could also get a Diesel in the grand for awhile, don't know if they still offer it or not. |
