It makes him your cousin?
I dont think jeeps can do an awful lot to up gas mileage, not without losing
1) Their heritage
2) Their styling (Jeep is a generic term for 4X4)
3) Their off road capability (Why you buy a jeep, supposedly.)
I know people with TJ's and slightly modified (33s, semi aggressive tires, maybe a locker) getting 15 mpg highway and being impressed with that.
The only way I can see them really improving tremendously is diesel or hybrids, and I know a lot of people would refuse to buy them if they did that. No one bought the diesel liberty when it came out, and it was my 2nd choice for a car!
