OP I have a way for you to pick up maybe 1 or 2 MPG with your Jeep. Take the rear driveshaft out and run in 4wd. Now you've got a front wheel drive Jeep eating a little less power. I did this with my friends Rubicon after he broke his driveshaft. He was doing sales, driving 100+ miles a day. He didn't fix it for 4 months because his gas mileage went up and there was no snow coming anytime soon. We even did some offroading with the FWD wrangler, it did pretty damn good.

Comptiger, lowest curb weight on TJ was 3092 4cyl, 3229 6cyl...
