Re: 6 or 4 cylinders for the wrangler ?
 

If you plan on a considerable amount of highway travel - open roads, doing
70+ mph - then you will be much happier with the 6, and the fuel mileage
isn't enough different to justify the smaller motor. If you will be driving
around town and hitting the occasional trail, then the 4 will be fine. If
you get the 4, be sure to take the manual trans, if you opt for the 6, then
it is your choice of manual or auto.

I don't know the EPA estimates, but I'm inclined to think that with a 3.07
for a 4.0 and a 4.10 for a 2.5, they ought to get about the same gas
mileage.

The 4.0 here in America is worth it based on resale alone. I've seen people
try and sell 2.5 Jeeps here in America and have difficulty selling them.
Seems everyone wants the 4.0.
