It had just under 300K *miles* and the dealer said the engine had been rebuilt sometime around 40K miles ago. So hopefully you can expect another 50-150K *miles*. Now, if you were really asking MPG and not lifetime expectancy, then I get around 14 MPG city and (ONE TIME) 19 Highway. I'm a lead foot though, and I still need to look into several mechanical factors that might be affecting my milage (tune up, lubricants, *moving the seat BACK* <g>).

Re: Milage on 4lt. engine
That would depend on how often the oil and filters were changed... If he is
currently at 250k then take a compression check as ask if the engine had been previously rebuilt. A recent emissions test will tell you a lot also..

Re: Milage on 4lt. engine
250,000 km's is nothing.... I have 382,000 on my XJ (Cherokee) and it still
runs strong, no problems with the engine or rest of the drive train, the body on mine is shot though. Main things to look at is the floor.. they used a nice rubber backed carpet during these years and it works great for not letting water get to the floorpan but at the same time, any moisture that gets between the carpet back and the floor will destroy the floor pan.. I had to replace the floor from the fire wall bend to just aft. of the drivers seat as well as from the curve to the front of the rear Seat on the pax side, from just inside the frame channel to 1/2 way up the tranny hump. I also replaced the floor of the cargo area from frame channel to frame channel. I would also suggest taking a good look at the rocker panels as they have a good tendency to rust out if the vehicle has or had running boards installed. Bill has a copy of the pics I took of the front floors, perhaps he could post a link for you. Snow...
