On another note . . . Do existing and potential Wrangler owners seriously consider fuel economy?

Hard not to think about it sometimes. My 2.0 JLR gets like 10 mpg better then a old 2.5L 4-banger TJ I once owned. lol.

Makes you now understand why they are pushing the 2.0L and recommending the equivalent of water for oil weight in their vehicles.

MPG was definately something I looked at but not a deciding factor. It is one reason i waited for this new generation to be my first Jeep. I am satisfied averaging over 18mpg in this brick though.

Nope. I drive what I want with no regard for fuel economy. Would be nice if the Federal government stayed in it’s lane. That whole 10th amendment thing and all.

Exactly. I remember when I bought my hellcat getting some kind of gas tax crap.
