Default jk and cash for clunkers

as far as i know, the jk does not qualify for cash for clunkers because the combined epa gas mileage is 17.... while the cut off for light duty trucks is 18mpg

i have a truck to trade in and could possibly get 4500 towards my new jeep.

anyone know if the 2010 wranger will have a higher mpg rating? if only we had the diesel one in the states!!!! damn you jeep!

The JKs overseas, with the CRD, don't get a whole lot better mileage than the 3.8. Not worth it for mpg. Low end torque, maybe worth it.

Keep in mind you get either the $4500 OR the trade-in value - not both. I would think your JK is worth much more than $4500!

Another stipulation is you had to be the registered owner for at least 1 year.
