The WJ I can see getting that type of mileage on the highway. It's not
as much of a brick as the XJ. From what I've seen over the years the XJ
is good for about 20MPG on the highway.

One thing the original poster never said is if his mileage is city or
highway... If he is only getting 12/13MPG on the highway then yeah, I
agree with you about the mileage. On the streets though, that number is
very real, especially if you have a heavy foot.
