Rarely gets driven outside of the regular trips to our AZ property... which is in the desert? I didn't say daily, but every 4-6 weeks we are roadtripping 600 miles each way with the cruise control set at 85 and doing hundreds of miles in the desert. It's a 2023 and it's got 48k miles on it despite sitting in the driveway for weeks at a time, so yes I'd call that regularly. You have to actually catch me in a lie vs just having poor reading comprehension if you want to call me a liar.
10,400-15,600 miles a year driving 100mph in the desert. I think I just discovered why your 3.6L is getting 30% worse gas mileage than your daily driven pavement princess 2.0L.

Do you need counseling? A dozen replies full of poor reading comprehension, snipped quotes out of context, trying so hard to dispel the facts of my use, some obsession with what the average jeeper does or doesn't do like that should affect my engine choice, and the inability to comprehend that our JLUR with the 2.0t was built and driven nearly identical to the 3.6L JLUR that replaced it. All 3 were driven hard and roadtripped all over the west to go wheeling. The JLs were both the wife's daily. The 2.0t always returned better fuel economy. On pavement, on the rubicon or moab or big bear, and on road trips at speed. At sea level the power was close enough which is why they have similar 0-60 times. At 10k+ feet the 2.0t having a >20% power advantage was glaringly obvious. If you don't drive them hard or wheel at high elevation I could see picking the 3.6L for its slightly better sound. Fortunately you can't hear either one at speed over the wind noise so that's not remotely a factor for me.
