TJ Gas mileage ?
Thinking about purchasing an Unlimited, but want to get an idea of
what kind of gas mileage people are getting on late model TJ's.
Gas here is 2.29/2.39/2.49 <<ouch>> at most places, with a few
stations a dime lower across the board.
I will be using it for daily commuting to/from work, with weekends in
the desert and mountain trailheads. Weekend mileage is to be
expectedly lower due to road conditions, speed etc.
Out of necessity, I need to use it as a primary vehicle.
TIA

Re: TJ Gas mileage ?
Gas mileage seems to hover in the upper teens for most TJs I've seen (stock,
of course). Don't expect much better than that.
If you're that concerned about gas, I'd probably avoid Jeeps all-together.
Go for an econo car. Great on gas. Or own a Jeep and a motorcycle. I use
the bike for day-to-day driving. Saves a TON on gas money!

Re: TJ Gas mileage ?
My '03 TJ averages 15.2, city and highway - about the same as the other
Wranglers I've owned. The inefficient, decrepit old inline 6 has seen better
days and should have been shelved several years ago. Chrysler has a couple
of efficient V-6s with more TORQUE and horsepower that are much better
suited for the job. Now, pardon me while I run for cover!
