I have a Sport 2 door 3.6 Pentastar auto with 3.73's. Great package...drives very smooth and plenty of power. If I wanted to haul sack I wouldn't have bought a Jeep. I'm getting about 18.5mpg, but I'm mostly on the highway....very little street mileage for me. I've had several vehicles with different axle ratios and tire sizes...recently a Chevy with 4.10's. I'm putting 35's on this Jeep and do not forsee any issue with power loss. Hope this helps.

It's Nice
I just picked up a 2012 Sport with the auto trans, and it's been great. The first shift is a little rough but the rest are pretty smooth.
I threw some Rubicon rims and tires and now it looks a whole lot better and rides rugged. It has more umph then the 3.8 and is
quick as far as jeeps go heh.
