I find it interesting that the manual in the 2 door is rated at 2 mpgs more than the auto on the highway, but for the unlimited its the same for both manual and auto. I'd buy the manual for sure if I got 2 mpgs more on the highway.

You cant get the 2.0 engine with a manual.

So premium fuel recommended in the 2.0L not required correct?

I was expecting 20/24 with 21 average, so these numbers are pretty good. My question now is what will the city mileage be with the 2019 V6 with BSG? Will city mileage top 20 mpg? I prefer a manual transmission for more driving fun and it's a great anti-millennial theft/borrowing device

Correct...recommended but not required. Good Top Tier 87 octane should work just fine.

It's not too bad. I do mostly city mileage. Looking at the EPA for both my Escape and my future Sahara, both 22.

Now that the numbers are out, they should start shipping.

Pretty happy right now.

yeah, most of my driving here in CT is City driving, probably around 80% City / 20% Hiway. So at 22% better the clearly better City mileage is good news for me on top of the better performance of the 2.0L.

Wow my 22/26 wasn't too far off...22/24 ain't bad I guess...not sure why the highway is about the same as the 3.6l...hopefully real world test show an improvement in this area, which seems to be the case with turbo engines in my experience.

I'm leaning 2.0L mostly because I often find myself stopped for long durations and any improvement there is greatly appreciated. Assuming this engine will actually turn off if I have my AC running. At a minimum, less cylinders at idle should burn less fuel.

Highway is about the same because aerodynamics, not the engine, is the primary problem with highway MPG with the Wrangler. I predicted 1mpg higher on the highway due to the smaller engine (which is what we got) and 10% higher (20mpg) city. Sort of amazed that they managed to get 22/23mpg city out of this mild hybrid system, but I guess that's also combined with the smaller / more fuel efficient (when not revving it) engine, which probably got at least 1mpg all by itself.

Unknown is what kind of mpg it would get on regular gas. I'm *hoping* that it stays equally fuel efficient with regular gas, just has less power. The gasoline itself has the same amount of energy in it, premium just lets you run more boost. If that's the case, you can save close to 20% on your gas bill, which for me would be around $20/month, which means it would only take 50 months to pay off the engine with fuel savings LOL. We'll see.

That's right, aerodynamics and weight limit the Wrangler's ability to get much better than the 24-25 mpg highway numbers. The BSG seems to have quite a bit to do with the good city numbers, and I'm anticipating that the 2019 MY V6 with BSG will get 20+ mpg city.
