I only have a 2-door and I find the JK's performance, especially on the highway, quite weak. You know you're driving a slug when there is NO DIFFERENCE in acceleration between 1/4 and full throttle. That being said I still enjoy the Jeep and am in no hurry to sell it, its just one of those things thats a compromise for vehicle builders and the JK still performs where it counts...on the trail.
IF Jeep ever offers a Hemi or turbo diesel in the JK, you'll see so many for sale so quickly the V6 will become a joke like the 4-cylinder YJ's.

I think Jeep should look into adding a diesel option for the Wrangler. a well designed diesel would be unbeatable in a JK.

Your power problem is simple to fix. You have 3.21 gears right? Just regear your Jeep to a lower ratio. What size tires you have? If stock, I would go 4.10, if larger go lower. Regearing does not "void a waranty" and at least one guy on here had his transmission failure covered because he had regeared for his larger tires.

You won't sustain marked performance increases w/3.91s. I would vigorously encourage you to contemplate 4.56s (4.10 at the VERY least). I'm running 4.88s with 33s and it's a new Jeep.

I get 15 around town, about the same on the freeway, a little more if I slow down and drive 60.

4.56 may sound drastic with a manual tranny, just like 5.38 does with the auto, but drastic problems require drastic measures.
