Jeep claimed the I6 did 19. I even proved it once over 600 miles pretending
there was an eggshell between my foot and the throttle.

"Jeep ditched the old 4.0-liter inline-six, instead offering a 3.8-
liter V-6 developing 202 horsepower and 237 foot-pounds of torque.
While these numbers are not astronomical improvements over the 190
horsepower/235 foot-pounds of the previous powerplant, the inherent
efficiency of the new engine allows for better fuel economy, despite a
curb weight gain of a few hundred pounds. According to Jeep, the new
Unlimited Rubicon model rates at 17 city and 19 highway miles per
gallon with the standard six-speed manual transmission and 16 city/19
highway with the optional four-speed automatic."
