Default Faster start?

So I searched the threads and didn't find anything, when I first got my jeep it would start right away maybe after 1 roll over if you will, but now it seems like it has at least 3-5 roll overs before it cranks up. This is not a big deal nor is it any problem what's so ever, I was wondering if there was a way to get it to start faster again? Thanks y'all!

oh, still new. That rules out a 5yr old battery and all.
Surprising that it won't catch. Bad tank of gas?
I'd hate to say take it to the dealer, but if it gets worse...

That doesn't rule out a bad battery. You can damage a battery (dealerships do it frequently). plus these stock batteries are junk.

X2 on this. Do you take a lot of short trips when driving? If so, sometimes the battery never gets a good charge.
