I am in the same boat you are Mark. I have a '98 3.9L and i only get between
14and 16 MPG. This sucks. The only reason I got it is that it had better gas
mileage than the V8 but now i am hearing they are almost equal with much more
horsepower and torque. On highway only i can get 18 but not near the 21 that
the sticker said when i bought it. I hope that if I put on a pipe and a FIPK
it might help out a bit. But I might just trade it in and get a V8 CC 4X4
now.
