    Reason for the low mileage is on the Gen III's.. that little motor was
made to run a Jeep down a trail.. Not pull around a 1/2 T truck.. and on my
Gen II's I've had.. they're using the motor from the old Dodge Omni's..

Put a 3000lb trailer behind a Jeep or an Omni and see what kind of mileage
they get.. or drop a 4 cyl in a 1/2 T Chevy and see what it does..

On a 4 cyl Dak.. we get ease of working on them. I can do a set of plugs in
under 10 min on mine. Hell.. The Cyl head is only 1.5 to 2 hours.
