Maybe the bad Cd of the Wrangler is costing you that much at highway speeds. It was never designed with high mpg in mind. It's specific purpose is not that of a highway car. Maybe driving the slower commute keeps you closer to the sweet spot, and once you try to go above that range the poor aerodynamics add up to kill your attempts at higher mpg.
