That's exactly what I was getting back when I was stock. Not impressed.

Here's your answer: 16 city, 20 hwy. Saw that on a window sticker for a Rubicon 4 door. (by the way, 4.10 gearing wasn't a no charge like everyone has been saying, it's 50 bucks!)

Also, it's not breaking news, it's been available on the fuel economy web site for about a week now.

If it was, media has not picked it up yet as there are no Google results for it

Looks like about a 1 MPG improvement (auto vs auto) over prior years, right?

I was hoping for better given the new engine/trans.

Now this was funny! Seriously though, who the hell cares who was the first to post information like this? All that matters is the information is shared with the community.

3.21's have no place in a jeep....some other company needs to buy jeep and make it trail rated right out of the box...putting that emblem on the side, along with crap gearing and 225's doesn't cut it
