WOW, that sux, not much more than my hog pick up.

I know its not a Jeep, but I get 17-18 mpg with a Boat like this: 96 Lincoln Towncar.
I was going to show a picture, but had posted it once already.

had a couple of 4.0 auto cherokees and they got around 16 mpg.

I'll trade you my 2002 Wrangler V6 4.0L for your boat........ (I wish).

I get about 17 mpg. manual transmission. Fun to drive, but not very practical. I haven't had my back seat in for 2 years.

With my Grand Cherokee (same straight 6 as the small Cherokee and Wrangler), I get about 17-18 city and 20-21 hwy. Not that I do any "city" driving any more 19-20 average for "mixed" driving. I did about the same on my small Cherokee. I think the Wrangler suffers from its non-aerodynamic body---lots more places for air resistance than a Grand Cherokee.

If you go with the Wrangler, don't try to save an mpg or two by getting the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. The difference between that and the straight 6 is night and day.

Used to have a 28 foot Bayliner. It was new and it only got about 2 miles to the gallon at cruise. Now I have a Land Yacht 5.4 Expedition gets about 16 average. Last Jeep Cherokkee I had with the V-6 got 10 mpg....it sucked. Find a Tracker or Sidekick they get about 24 mpg.
I had to add:
Get rid of those one piece sticks. The new 2 piece surf rods are great. You don't have to worry about theft, just lock them up! St. Croix's are super. I'll never go back to making my own, except for boat rods.

2004 4.0 5spd, 17-18mpg. You can get 20 if you are very light on the fun pedal. You don't buy em for the gas mileage. My last wrangler with a 4.2 5spd got 12-14 mpg till I trashed it.
