Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and to Jeeps. I live in the UK and here fuel is very pricey, so whilst I understand that getting a 4 wheel drive will be more expensive than a small runner I would like to get Wrangler /maybe Sahara that is best on fuel.

I hear mix opinions about engine size and fuel consumption. Is 2.2 litre not better than 3.6 litre (I only put these numbers as an example) ?

Any advice will be highly appreciated.👍

Also if that matters: I am not planning to buy a brand new Jeep, looking at max 10 year old cars that didn’t do more than 60k miles.

The words fuel economy and Jeep Wrangler do not belong together in the same sentence. At least in the UK you have the diesel option. That is no doubt your best bet.

I think I'm lucky if i get 15-16 mpg on my '07 3.8. Probably because of the mountainous terrains (lots of steep ups and downs), the lift, gearing, and my tire size.
