Re: TJ engine swap - 4.0 to something with better MPG?
 
Dear elitist prigs,

Of course I don't mean to address the posters who replied in a
friendly kind of way, but the majority of you stuck up elitists chose
to make hay out of my being better served by a different car.

I asked if it was possible to drop in a more efficent powertrain on a
Jeep because I'm annoyed by low teens in the MPG. If thats whats
Jeeps get, well congratulations to all of you for being satisfied with
an inefficient auto in 2004- in my opinion the extremely low MPG on
the TJ is hilariously low for a modern vehicle.

If its an aerodynamics issue than there 4 banger shouldn't get better
MPG - period. SO it stands to reason that the aged 6 cylinder in the
Jeep is the reason.

Of course it is always amusing to watch the self-proclaimed experts on
the Jeep board strut around as if anyone who doesn't share their
WEALTH of knowledge and insight, and in this case, acceptance of a
crappy aspect of a jeep is better suited in a different auto -
I'll keep the TJ, thanks - and your opinions of whether I'm "suited"
for it or not can keep your collective heads company up your bums.

Ya know, I don't blame him at all for this response. All he did was ask a
simple question.
