Agree with all you say except disabling the start-stop. With eTorque you barely notice the restart except keeping your foot firmly on the brakes as your generator quickly restarts the engine (not the starter motor)and I get a surge of torque at idle. Running at 60 mph is a good way to improve your aerodynamics and mileage. I know, not a popular view but 23-24 mpg versus 18 at 75 mph., that is quite a difference.4.56 gears on the XR with 37" tires - 17.2 MPG - that is about 60% commute on interstate moving along at 75ish and the rest in town. If it's pure highway, 18 to 19+ is average depending on the headwind. These things are not aerodynamic
The eTorque really makes a difference from my previous Rubicons with the same 3.6L. I've also disabled auto start/stop via Tazer.
