Around town, about 14-18. Flat freeway keeping it under 70, about
21-22. Really hilly freeway and/or running at 75+ gets 19-20. Stock I6
except for cat back, synth blend oil, and michelins.

Nope, 4.0 Renix MPFI engine that AMC set up.
It runs very nice, just the body is falling off the wheels at about a
chunk per mile.... I am going to swap some stuff over to a 'new' 87 4
door with the same engine/tranny combo I just picked up that still has
floorboards even... ;-)

95 Cherokee Sport, 4.0L, Part Time 4WD, Auto.
235/75R15 Wrangler RT/S tires.
*Lead foot.*
Combined street/freeway: 12-14MPG
(Sometimes almost 15MPG if I really baby the pedal)
ONE time, on a 200+ mile trip (mostly freeway): 19MPG
