Re: 4 cyl. mileage, lift & tire size
And that's how you save gas over a six, you simply can't burn more
energy. Also it tells me you have over sized tires, as my Brother-in-law was ticketed for 95 mph in his YJ, but after the thirty inch tires can go no faster than seventy: http://home.att.net/~taschers/index.html God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ ElAlumbrado wrote: > > I can't speak for others, but my 4-banger won't go much faster than 55 > (well, I have managed to scrape my way up to 70 from time-to-time, but > the Jeep ain't happy about it). |

Re: 4 cyl. mileage, lift & tire size
The 2.4 in my '04 TJ got a best 24mpg, but mostly is between
21mpg and 23mpg. Weather and temperatures seem to be a key to mpg's on my 2.4. Cold weather drops the mileage and warmer weather increases it. The wife and two dogs riding along also drops the power curve....ha..ha. But, I'm happy with my 2.4 after getting use to it. It's not fast, but then I'm old and slow. 2.4 has been very dependable for me. Tom T |

No, but its really hard to stall it and the torque is great :-).
