Looking to buy a Jeep...need advice
 

Hi,
I am looking to buy a Jeep again, after previously owning a 91 YJ.
I do about 160 km dailiy of highway driving and wondered which would be better for highway driving, the 4 or the 6 cylinder (standard of cours). Also, can anyone offer any info on gas mileage for both.

Thanks.

My 93 gets p*ss poor gas mileage with the 2.5.

straight six all the way. 92 and up fuel injected

my four cylinder with 29 inch tires gets about 450km a tank

Its a 99 TJ by the way

Generally the 4's are better on gas then the 6's. 6's give more low end torque though which is nice. It's a tradeoff.

Well "Jeeper2009" did u buy a jeep? A 4 banger with small tires newer ones have 2.5 lit motors gearing not sure what they have, but once u put big tires and other offroading stuff on it, you wud have better off to buy a 4 lit (or 3.8 as the new ones are called) mileage at this point isn't much different. If you have the bucks go for a Rubicon, its got gearing, lockers, heavier duty axles and alot of the stuff u will want for offroading.I make 19 mpg with 33"
