Forget it. Even a modern TJ 4-banger is not designed for "highway
speeds". My 2000 TJ 4-cylinder strains to reach 60-65.

Re: Army Jeeps- Highway usage
Got to disagree. My '05 TJ runs 65-70mph (70 is the limit here) highway all
the time here in WV, except for some of the steeper hills.
But again, the 2.4. has more power than the 2.5.
Mileage has been consistently between a low of 20 and a high of 24. Usually
22-23mpg.
