He confirms that you have to wind it hard to get the power band, but with the manual tranny, the engine screams but you aren't moving fast. The economy of the larger 4.0 without the power. It could be why Ford dropped it as an offering although the reliability as noted by racsan was confirmed by him. 19.5 around town and 24 on one long road trip where he was careful not to exceed 65 mph. A/C was on and off along the trip. More food for thought...

Thanks i think since ill be driving allot i will probably get a 4cly. just gotta clean the jeep up good and fix a few small things and its good to go.
