I have an '88 4x4. Don't have much experience working on it, though, as very little ever goes wrong (knock on wood :-)) I'm in Nevada, where we don't get the road salt/rust issues you folks back east do, so the body & frame are solid.
I get about 26-27 mpg on mine, but I think my driving is a lot different than yours seems to be. When I drive it, at least part of the trip is on really rough mountain roads (places where I've seen Jeeps get high-centered), or hauling loads of hay, firewood, &c. Put it in low range, and it will haul a good load just about anywhere.
