Kind of nice to know my Jeep gets better mileage than someone at least.

I don't know about you OP but I rarely drive on the highway, and that hurts. And I do not always baby it. Winter fuel and 4wd, pushing through snow, all lower mileage.

Did you hand calculate that mileage? 200 miles does seem bad for your rig.

Depends if your comparing a 4 dr vs a 2 dr.
A 4 dr has about 4 gallons more gas

So if comparing yours if you were getting 15mpg to a 4 dr they might get 60 more miles on a tank!!!

Default check spark plug wires

when I changed my spark plug wires and plugs I noticed the 1 spark plug wire rubs against the air conditioner aluminum tube and was wearing a hole in the wire. this might help you out in fuel mileage.
