3.8 V6 6 spd manual and gets 20-21 MPG depending on how much stop and go I end up in.

Impressive. I never managed to get one to do that well, though I was always driving brand new ones, and I have a bit of a lead foot trying to get the damn thing to go!

Still think they should drop the 3.0L Diesel they had in the GC in there... That would be a decent set up.

As I said the old 4.0 liter straight 6 was a horrible gas hog. A buddy of mine has one in his manual that has been mildly lifted and is on 33" tires. He gets 10-12mpg in mixed city/highway driving.

I didn't realize that was the new body style/engine/transmission. That is much more manageable.
