Jeep Wrangler Gas Mileage
If you’re a driver in Hurricane, Charleston, or Huntington who appreciates an efficient sport utility vehicle, we here at Walker CDJR would like to introduce you to the Jeep Wrangler. Below are a few of its notable attributes in the area of performance, including fuel economy as well as engine specs and other beneficial characteristics. Take a brief moment to see what the 2024 Wrangler can do.
2024 WRANGLER GAS MILEAGE AND ENGINE LINEUP
There are four different options when it comes to picking what’s going to propel your 2024 Jeep Wrangler.
The standard offering is a 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine with ESS (Engine Stop/Start) that has an output up to 270 horsepower as well as 295 lb-ft of torque. It also makes use of up to an EPA-estimated 17 city/23 highway MPG. A slight variation, the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque provides the same horsepower and torque but a slightly more efficient EPA-estimated 19 city/24 highway MPG.
The Wrangler is also available with a 2.0-liter Turbo engine with ESS. This one is able to supply a maximum 270 horsepower along with 295 lb-ft of torque.
It provides an EPA-estimated 20 city/21 highway MPG. Plus, the Wrangler has a fuel tank capacity of 21.5 gallons, so you know it will have your back. The 2024 Jeep Wrangler gives drivers an additional option with the available 6.4 HEMI® V8. This engine boasts an impressive best-in-class 470 horsepower and best-in-class 470 lb-ft of torque. As for fuel consumption, this engine gets up to an EPA-estimated 17 highway MPG.

JEEP WRANGLER 4xe
In the last few years, Jeep has electrified the Wrangler. Now, the Wrangler 4xe has joined its gas counterpart on the Hurricane, Charleston, and Huntington, WV, streets! Thankfully, this dynamic set of wheels can switch between MPGe and electric driving range, as it’s a plug-in hybrid EV.
The 2024 Wrangler 4xe offers an EPA-estimated 49 combined city/highway MPGe. When in electric mode, the Wrangler 4xe produces up to an EPA-estimated 370 miles of range. The convenience of driving an EV like the Jeep Wrangler 4xe can’t be overstated.
While you can still visit a gas station to refuel, this vehicle’s bread and butter is its ability to charge at home. Your Wrangler 4xe will come with a Level 1 charging cable that can fully charge the battery in 12 hours. If you want to speed things up, consider a Level 2 charger, which can charge the battery in about two hours.
You may need a professional to install the charger in your home, however.
JEEP WRANGLER PERFORMANCE
There are many features found in the Wrangler that serve to enhance the overall driving experience it has to offer. One of these is the Hydraulic Assist Brake Booster. This standard feature helps you handle any situation that comes your way by using hydraulic pressure to increase braking force and overall performance consistency.
The Command-Trac Part Time 4WD System also comes standard. When conditions call for it, this system can go from 2WD to 4WD to take the performance up a notch.
The available Selec-Trac® Full-Time 4WD System further improves efficiency when you’re taking on rougher road and weather conditions.
Hill Start Assist is another handy aspect of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. It comes standard and helps whenever you find yourself parked on the side of a hill. When it’s time to get moving again, Hill Start Assist kicks into action by continuing to apply pressure to the brakes as you move your foot over to the gas pedal.
Doing this ensures the SUV accelerates in the right direction instead of inadvertently rolling the wrong way back down the hill.
Another helpful tool when it comes to making sure the Wrangler provides top-notch efficiency is the Tire Pressure Monitoring Display. Because tires help with fuel efficiency as well as safety when they’re inflated to the correct air pressure, this standard feature comes into play by letting you know when any of your tires has too much or not enough air.
JEEP WRANGLER TOWING CAPACITY
Because the Wrangler offers an assortment of engine options, it’s capable of some rather impressive feats! Despite the varying range of engine options, from a zippy Turbo to two versions of a powerful V6 and even an efficient diesel engine, the Jeep Wrangler maxes out its towing abilities across these engines at 5,000 pounds.
This towing capacity can be applied to light trailers that contain your cargo or small craft like dirt bikes or even jet skis.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT WRANGLER FUEL EFFICIENCY
When you want to keep your Jeep Wrangler performing as efficiently as possible, there are a few factors you should know about that will actually affect its MPG. Since the MPG rating equates to when just the driver is on board, having other passengers will result in a slight drop in its city and highway mileage.
That’s because, the more weight in the Wrangler, the more fuel it has to use to perform. Having a lot of cargo on board can also affect the fuel efficiency. This also includes towing, so hauling significant loads will show a slight dip in the Jeep Wrangler’s gas mileage.
The more weight you pull, the more fuel is needed to ensure that your Jeep Wrangler reaches your desired speed. Another major factor that can cause a drop in your Jeep Wrangler’s fuel efficiency is due to a mechanical issue. Having old oil will make the metal parts move less efficiently, causing the vehicle to use up more fuel to perform.
KEEPING YOUR JEEP WRANGLER MPG HIGH
Ensuring that you get the most out of your fuel is crucial when you hit the road. One way you can stay on top of your Jeep Wrangler and its fuel efficiency is by keeping up with its routine maintenance and service. Regular service is a great way to keep your vehicle performing at its best and most efficient.
This includes staying up to date with routine oil changes, tire rotations, and replacing the appropriate parts and components when they wear.
Oil changes are especially important because they lubricate your engine, which works in concert with your fuel system. If your engine is not properly lubricated, that means your fuel system isn’t either, so you’ll run through fuel faster.
Another way to keep your Jeep Wrangler’s gas mileage high is to avoid speeding. The faster you go, the harder your engine has to work to keep up, which burns through fuel quicker. Driving the speed limit or slower means you’re likely to maintain higher MPG outputs.
Did you know that your tire pressure plays a part in your gas mileage? It’s a good idea to check tire pressure and treadwear regularly. When they’re low on air, fill them up to the correct PSI as soon as you can. It’s always a good idea to keep a tire pressure gauge in your Wrangler.
If you’re driving a Jeep Wrangler, odds are that you’re going to want to venture off the beaten path. This means doing things like off-roading, which is a lot of fun, but can be harmful to your engine.
We recommend limiting the amount of times you go off-roading, as you want to preserve your vehicle. Your Jeep Wrangler will have a cruise control feature built in. If you’re on the highway or any roadway where you’re not stopping regularly, utilizing this feature will keep you moving at a consistent, safe speed.
It’s easy to idle, especially in the colder months when you’ve got to let your Wrangler warm up. This can work against you if you idle for too long, as you’ll burn fuel. Lastly, using fuel additives can improve gas mileage.
WHAT TYPE OF FUEL SHOULD I USE IN MY JEEP WRANGLER?
Have you ever wondered why there are different grades of fuel? Sometimes, bigger, luxurious cars will need high-octane fuel to run properly, thus costing more money. The fuel you should put in your Wrangler will depend on its engine. For example, the 3.6L V6 and 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine require regular unleaded fuel, while the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine will need premium unleaded fuel.
Since 2018, two-door Jeep Wrangler SUVs come with 17.5-gallon gas tanks, while four-door models come with 21.5-gallon tanks.
