Hey Bill,
I can't find the V8 option button on http://www.jeep.com/wrangler/
anywhere.
Maybe you have a link you can share with us.... ;-)

i seem to recall getting around 16 mpg (mixed city/highway) with my '00
manual sahara on 33s. the best i ever got on my auto/rubi was 14.9 (iirc)
and that was all highway. it usually got around 14. i know you cant
compare gas to diesel but interesting enough, my '01 cummins 2500 4x4 dodge
is getting over 21, and the '04.5 cummins 3500 4x4 dodge is getting 18+ and
its not even broken in yet. both weigh nearly double what my rubicon
weighed and i drive them a lot faster.
