I was thinking samurai so that he could have a soft top still, something he mentioned was his main reason for getting his jeep.

The samurai weighs so much less than a wrangler that I bet the power to weight ratio would be similar to a 4cyl wrangler.

Oh, and that 31.54mpg I posted for my last samurai trip was to drive it home after I traded for it, so that is without a tuneup/ airfilter change/ etc.

and it is using google maps for distance travelled since speedo cable needs replaced, so no tire size /mpg inconsistency. take that jeep wrangler :-)
