Just read an article on Autoblog.com that had EPA numbers regarding what the JL Wrangler will get in terms of MPG. As some of you know, the JK with it's 3.6L Pentastar with a 5-speed automatic gets 16 city, 20 highway and a combined average of 18 MPG. According to the EPA, the JL with it's 8-speed automatic will get 18 city, 23 highway and a combined average of 20 MPG. Not a huge difference but there is an improvement.

You can see the whole article here:

I know, I so wished it were available for me to test drive before I placed an order. Oh well.

I was trying to find it. When will the turbo be available? Or was/is it available now at launch?

The 8 speed in general will be awesome. Good luck staying off the throttle.

Agree. 8-speed will be great to drive.

Turbo will be available at launch as well as the V6 Pentastar. The engine that will be held until the following year is the diesel... Still waiting on specifics for the turbo though [emoji848]

Agreed! My Mercedes has a 7 speed transmission, and I love the way it keeps the engine in its torque band. Even though it has roughly the same horsepower as the JK, it feels way more torquey. This JL is turning out to be way better than I anticipated.
