Well the 6-tine forks get better coverage, but personally I go with the old school 4 tine. The 4 tine will always get more poke per dollar. When they came out everyone stopped buying 3 tine all together.
Me and millions of others. DI isn't the boogieman you make it out to be.
I've noticed from posters in other states that there can be a big difference in price between low, mid, and high grade gas. In that case you are definitely correct, it would be hard to justify the extra expense. Here in So Cal I use 89 for "regular" (87 is low), and 91 is premium. The difference between 89 and 91 is $0.10/gallon. So in a 15-gallon fill up it is literally $1.50 more for premium. Even the jump from 87-91 is only $0.20/gallon.
im willing to bet most people ordering the Turbo are doing so for sure he increase in power and acceleration not the gas mileage
I think direct injection engines produce way more noxious and particulate emissions than port injection engines, and considering that CO2 is plant food, and increased concentrations of it lead to higher crop yields and a reversal of desertification, I'd call that a lose-lose.
It also isn't problem free across all manufacturers, not yet. Non DI proven V6 is actually one of the biggest JL selling points to me. I value trusted and simple over cutting edge when I'm 30 miles from a paved road, and I'm fine with the economy cost of that.
This. What's the 4 rated at, one whole mpg more? The low mid end power advantage is where that motor appears to shine. I won't buy it until I know it's proven, but who knows. If it's offered with a manual in coming years I could go that route.
This jeep talk or EPA forum , I’m going with the turbo for increased acceleration and Torque Win Win lol
I wasn't the one who brought it up.
manual is what, 10% of new Wranglers? They figure anyone stubborn enough to want one won't be picky about which engine. It's really not an area where the market is forcing them to do more at all. We're a dying breed, us manual people!
