I'm lucky if I get 19 mpg on long highway trips, and I only average
about 13-14 around town. :(

Yea, me too.
My Cobra got better mileage than my Yeep!
Even hubby's F250 gets better mileage than mine does.

Well... mine is a two door so it's lighter, it's a stick, and it's 2wd.
It might not go through the glop a 4x4 XJ will but it goes and goes and
goes, I'd drive that little sucker anywhere and with 350,000 miles on it
I pretty much have!

Re: minor gloat
That's insane - I get 15 on mine. 4x4 and four doors shouldn't make
anywhere NEAR that much of a difference. I can't imagine what all mine
needs to do any better...
