Hey don't speak ill of the dead! The 3.8 in my old 09 was a tank! Went 160k miles, only issue was a cylinder misfire and she liked to eat oil in her later years...:LOL:
Yes, I have a 3.8 in my JK. For most of them oil is measured by the mile, not the quart. Mine does not consume oil, just leaks it. Replaced plugs, caps, wires long ago and no misfires.

Woah hey now no need to be hasty you can fit your girlfriend in a 2 door and strap the pole to the roof in a 2 door.
Sometimes her friends Diamond and Crystal ride with us, I want to be able to roll down the rear windows as they get pretty drunk at 3 in the morning. The Britney Spears Fantasy perfume dont mix well with whisky vomit. Cant do that in a 2 door.

Because we're sleeping like reasonable human beings. We don't hang out with people who would use Britney Spears perfume or who vomit up their liquor. You hold that shit in. You get drunk during regular business hours. Deodorant is good enough.

Some people, I tell ya.

Let's be honest Roy, we both know none of those things are appealing to you. 3AM, Britney Spears perfume, people who can't hold their liquor.

Well no, that's not exactly the same thing. What you are saying here is "if you can't afford to maintain a particular vehicle, don't buy that particular vehicle"...which I agree with. What you said before was "if you can't afford to maintain this engine in this vehicle, don't buy anything from the entire brand (or model line, both work)". Not the same at all.

Furthermore, as I illustrated - just because I would prefer to avoid having to put premium in my vehicle doesn't mean I can't AFFORD to. I can complain about having to pay extra for premium just because I don't like it. Buying regular instead of premium would save me $600-800 a year which is a good chunk of money I could take to FB marketplace to get another widget to enhance my Jeep. Definitely rather do that.

Doesn't matter how much money you have - it still pays to be smart with it.
I filled up with premium the other day. 15 gallons. Difference was 8 bucks over regular

It’s not that much higher.

Safari Mode takes care of all of that.
