Oh the shame (queue head hung low and sad music)

I honestly think the 6 cyl version of the jeep gets better milage than the 4, cause friends around here claim 16-18 in their wagoneers.

One of the reasons I convinced myself I could handle the bad Disco mileage was because the mileage on that 4-cyl wasn't too great to begin with. I only had 31" tires, no lift and stock gearing. I stopped keeping track of my mileage in the Jeep a long time ago, but I don't think I ever saw anything over 17, which usually included a fair amount of highway driving. So I really don't think you'll see a whole lot of fuel use benefits with your Jeep, but at least you can use the cheap gas in it!
I have one of these engines sitting in my yard right now and have been parting it out, hence why I was talking to the guy, came out of my 85 Lesharo that I'm swapping a 3.8 supercharged Buick into.

You guy's slaming the Wrangler 4-banger for their power(probabaly rightfully so,never drove one), you should try driving a Samurai as a DD. I did just that, 2 of them back-to back, when I was in my late teens-early twenties(i.e.-didn't care).
The stock 1.3 shouldn't have even been put in mopeds. I got beat in drag races with the boy down the road on his 10-speed bike. Luckily, that was back when the speed limit was still 55(still barely do that) Leaf springs all around-rode like a tank(worse actually)
The second one I owned, I did swap a 1.6 injected out of a Sidekick. That actually had some get-up-and-go(meaning it could do the speed limit) Forget heat in the winter, even with a hardtop.
