4.88 will get you back to stock mpg with a 6 spd, 5.13 with the auto.
I have a stick and I will probably go 5.13 for a little more power.
After all, it's a Jeep, MPG is pretty far down on my list.
I was just quoted $1500 for the re-gear.

Sorry, wall of questions below...
How do you know what gearing you have from stock?
How much does it cost to regear? Does the different gear ratios have an effect on price or are they all about the same and just paying for labor?
Where do you take it to get it regeared? I assume you do this and thro the warrenty out the window as you drive home from the garage.
I guess the bigger gear ratio the more power you have for spinning the bigger tires. I thought I read a while back that bigger gear ration increased the fuel economy. Is that right? It seems like you can't have both those at the same time.

i dont think the dealer will do it. i asked and they said that chrystler doesnt even make that gear for the jeep. you would probably want somebody who knows what theyre doing anyway......
