Jeep made a mistake with the gearing in the JK. I've done some long trips (750+ miles) in my Jeep and get better mpg running with O/D off every time.
The 3.8 is just too in-efficient lugging along at 1500rpm. Thats just way to far below the powerband.
RPM doesn't kill the mileage like so many people think it does.
Don't fear the gear.

Same thing goes for why there is no gas guzzling Hemi option for the Wrangler, or so I'm told by an industry guy I'm aquainted with here in Omaha.
