Fuel Economy: Model & Engine Size?

[Dika Tattoo]

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.

Wranglers have the aerodynamics of a barn so none do great. My 07 3.8 gets average 18.3 city driving

Fuel economy in the wrangler sucks but my wrangler is one of my fruits of my labor ..I live by ,LONG AFTER THE PRICE IS FORGOTTEN THE QUALITY STILL REMAINS...my wrangler, VAFFANCULO is my everyday urban assault vehicle which nothing can stop it

2013, 3.6l, automatic on 35s…I average right around 17.5 on the highway.

With that said, don’t buy any jeep if mpg is a concern.

Mine is 2007 wrangler rubicon 3.8. Screaming steel and sex appeal

Welcome. Note that all numbers provided here will most likely be given in US mpg. Multiply by ~1.2 for UK mpg.

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.

Everything is relative... I can travel almost twice as far in my Wrangler on a gallon of gas vs. my SuperDuty!
