3.6L Engine with BSG / E-Torque on 2020 JL Rubicon

[MB11]

Lost combined 1/2 MPGs without BSG on 2.0. Now the 3.6 has a better rated fuel efficiency on the highway.

Did they revise the EPA numbers for the V6 at all? I have seen EPA and manufacturers revise EPA numbers from time to time based on testing, etc.

My bad. I was basing it off last year. They have modified the 2020 V6 to be 18/22 combined. So they’re the same highway.

I am an owner of JLUR 2020 model since Aug 12.
I had the etorque too which my wife traded for a Dodge Durango Hemi.
Having driven both, I don't see much difference in performance on the highway but slight difference initially on lower RPMs.
I see a difference also of about 1 mpg though not measured scientifically (on 91 octane fuel).
One noticeable difference is on coolant and oil temperatures - on the same route where I used to not exceed more than 212 degrees F on oil temp, I see 224-226 degrees F but I mostly drove the etorque in winter and the 2020 model in Vegas summer.
Another noticable difference is on ESS - it was a very silent start on etorque, whereas it sounds like the V6 starting on the non etorque one.

And $1000 less.
