So What's Up with the Crappy MPG?
Seriously now, have any of you seen what the MPG on the new JK-Unlimited is? Well, at least according to some of the initial sticker shots (16 city/19 hwy) that are circulating around show, it ain't any different than what the TJ gets now. I mean, I thought the whole idea of ditching the 4.0L-I6 in favor of the new 3.8L-V6 was done to make the new Wranglers more fuel efficient :rolleyes2:

Well, after taking a closer look at KBB, they're numbers show 19 city/27 hwy with the Rubicon showing a little less at 18 city/25 hwy. However, I think I'm more inclined to believe what I see on the sticker over what KBB shows.

I heard the 4.0 went away cause of stricter safety rules..."it's smaller and sits further back from the front end". At least thats what my salesman pitched to me...
I remember my 1991 Wrangler 4.0L kicked ass with 2.5 leaf lift/3" bod lift and 35's, everything else stock...I could haul some serious asss....This new 3.8 can't haul anything but my big arse around at 13 MPG!
Still love it tho
