Let's assume that you will have your Wrangler for 5 years and that price is going to go up 10% per year for the next 5 years. If we assume that you get 14 MPH on your new Wrangler and that you are an average driver (15,000/year Year 1 (15,000 / 14MPH) X $4.00 = $4,285.74 Year 2 (15,000 / 14MPH) X $4.40 = $4,714.28 Year 3 (15,000 / 14MPH) X $4.84 = $5,185.74 Year 4 (15,000 / 14MPH) X $5.32 = $5,704.28 Year 5 (15,000 / 14MPH) X $5.85 = $6,274.71 Add the yearly totals and you get $26,164.75 Compare that to the MPH of say, a Honda Civic Hydrid (MPH 43), would cost you $8,518.75 in gas over the next 5 years. That's $17,645 less than the Jeep Wrangler. There is a more scientific way to make your decision.

A lot better. Compared to most other smaller 4 cylinder 4WD? They aren't Jeeps. You really need to list what you need (not want!) in your next transport appliance and see where it takes you. Then accept the gas mileage you get, or change your priorities - which means you weren't being really honest with yourself. I see a lot of demand for 30mpg cars right now, but sometimes it's cheaper to pay for the gas than a new car. Don't get trapped into a poor choice. $50 fillups are cheaper than a $500 payment - so far - and I'd have to fill that up, too.

Most new jeep have bigger engines and drink more gas. It also depends on where you drive day to day and how you drive your car. I have been doing alot of research on this topic and have found out their is an aletrnative this guy Oliver South convereted his BMW to water gas fuel. He has a video that shows step by step how anyone can do this. There is also a review website that I found in my research that covered a few other companies that are doing the same thing.

If you are worried about fuel DO NOT get a Wrangler except as a second vehicle/toy. I started parking mine as much as possible and have been shopping around for a motorcycle so the misses can have her car back. I own a TJ and on a good day with a tail wind it verges on 20 mpg.
