I would not jump to trust the computer for the mpg, if that is what you are using for your figures. It is better to compute it yourself by miles / gallons used and do it a couple of times. It will be the average of all your driving, and that to me is more realistic.

I do get better mileage from high octane fuel, but not enough to warrant the price differences.

The best thing that I did was getting the Superchips flasher. I see about a 2 mpg increase with it, and some increase in performance. Very happy with it.
X2 on the Flashpaq, then gears. New exhaust may help. CAI is just BS.

18-19 is not bad, search for MPG threads. 11-12 sounds a bit low. The flashpaq will give you the biggest bang for your
Buck, but the gears will make your Jeep more driveable.

Your highway mileage sounds pretty average. If you won't be needing 4x4 on those long drives, pull the front drive shaft and toss it inside for the trip.
Not a significent help, as the front end is still turning.
