I've got the perfect solution for you. Sell the jeep in a year, and if you really like the open top, get a suzuki samurai! I just traded for one for my hypermiling homestead project vehicle that I've posted about here. I got 31.54 mpg with it on the first big 260 mile road trip with 4 mountain passes to go over. Mine is a carbed model with "oversize" 225.75.r15 tires that the previous owner put on. I am also 6'5" 230lbs, another myth about the big guy needing a big pickup :-)
