Interesting, because when I went to buy another Jeep I specifically looked for the 4 cyl. When I was
in Florida during 1992-6 I was spending $350 - 600 a month on gas and I was getting annoyed and
broke doing that. Going back and forth all over the state with the A/C on was the reason, of course.
Now I have the 4 (no A/C) and it's just fine for my purposes.
