All the talk on greater MPG doesn’t matter, since this engine requires the higher octane gas, it will actually be more expensive to drive. In another thread, someone did the math, comparing MPG, gas price difference between the middle and high octane, and and the 2.0 will cost more for gas.

He mentions that spark plugs needs to be changed more frequently on the 2.0 per the online manual, hopefully not a major expense, just be aware.
Also, there is a major recall for this motor in the Cherokee, some parts are installed backwards. Hopefully won’t be seen in the Wranglers, but does beg the question what else will be seen with the new motor.
I’m a techno geek, really like the idea of BSG in Wranglers and a strong supporter of turbo, especially given I live in Denver. This is an exciting advancement for us Wrangler people. Timing didn’t work out for me, had to get into the JL when I did. I am really hopeful this engine works out for everyone.
