What Determines the Jeep Wrangler Gas Mileage?
The Jeep Wrangler MPG ratings vary based on three main factors: the engine, transmission, and number of doors. The trim level can affect the model's fuel efficiency as well, but this isn't a consistent factor. Our guide below covers all the details involved.
Please note that because the EcoDiesel engine was discontinued, the final Jeep Wrangler diesel MPG rating was an EPA-estimated 22/29/25 MPG (City/Highway/Combined) in the 2023 model.5
Jeep Wrangler MPG by Engine
The 2025 Wrangler gives you the choice of four engines. While their specific MPG ratings can vary with their interconnected configuration details, we've listed the overall purpose of and best Jeep Wrangler MPG rating achievable with each one.
3.6-Liter Pentastar V-6
The rock-solid standard V-6 returns for 2025. Thanks to its long history of excellence, this engine is more refined and reliable than ever. Almost every Wrangler comes standard with this engine. It produces 285 horsepower and delivers up to an EPA-estimated 18/23/20 MPG (City/Highway/Combined), 3 making it a great way to enjoy the wild.
2.0-Liter Turbo Four-Cylinder
Available as an upgrade on most trims and standard in the Sahara trim, this extra-efficient and powerful engine exceeds the V-6 in torque and MPGs, delivering 295 pound-feet (as opposed to the V-6 engine's 260 pound-feet) and up to an EPA-estimated 20/23/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined). 4 With the Jeep Wrangler MPG and torque taken further, this engine is a worthwhile upgrade for any adventurer.
2.0-Liter Turbo Four-Cylinder Plug-In Hybrid (4xe)
If you're searching for the Jeep Wrangler with the best MPG ratings, check out the Wrangler 4xe. This model combines the 2.0-liter turbo engine mentioned above with a battery-and-motor electric drive system to deliver 375 horsepower and an EPA-estimated 49 MPGe.2 You can also use the electric motor system to drive gas-free for short trips.
6.4-Liter HEMI V-8
While the Jeep Wrangler gas consumption increases with this engine, so do the thrills. This HEMI V-8 is designed for extreme fun and unlocks the ability to confidently handle gravel trails with ease. Its EPA-estimated 13/16/14 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)6 is also surprisingly good, considering its 470 horsepower and 4.5-second 0-60 mph time.
Jeep Wrangler MPG by Transmission
Six-Speed Manual Transmission
Standard on and only appearing with the 3.6-liter V-6 engine, the six-speed manual transmission is a hallmark of the Wrangler. An EPA-estimated 17/23/19 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 is possible with this transmission, but the Jeep Wrangler MPG you'll experience can be greatly affected by your shifting habits.
Eight-Speed Automatic Transmission
For those who want seamless driving and an easier time off-roading, all versions of the Wrangler can be equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. With the same 3.6-liter V-6 but the automatic transmission instead of the manual, the Jeep Wrangler MPG can rise to an EPA-estimated 18/23/20 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).3
Jeep Wrangler MPG by Number of Doors
Two Doors
As a smaller and lighter vehicle, a two-door Jeep Wrangler delivers higher MPG ratings. All of the Jeep Wrangler MPG ratings seen above (except for those of the 4xe and HEMI models, which are only available with four doors) were achieved with a two-door configuration.
Four Doors
The Jeep Wrangler four-door MPG ratings may be lower, but the SUV's practicality reaches higher levels in this configuration. For example, four-door Wrangler models offer up to 72.4 cubic feet of interior cargo room, while the two-door versions are limited to 31.7 cubic feet.
Still, the four-door Jeep Wrangler fuel economy ratings are typically only one MPG lower, like the turbo engine and four-door configuration's EPA-estimated 20/22/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).7
Jeep Wrangler MPG by Trim
Most of the Wrangler trims deliver the same MPG rating because they share a drivetrain configuration. However, trims like the Sahara include different standard engines and carry the respective Jeep Wrangler MPG ratings for them. Here's a quick overview:
Jeep Wrangler Sport, Sport S, and Willys
These models have a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and six-speed manual transmission, delivering an EPA-estimated 17/23/19 MPG (City/Highway/Combined) 1 in two-door form or an EPA-estimated 16/22/19 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)8 with four doors. Adding the automatic transmission returns an EPA-estimated 18/23/20 MPG (City/Highway/Combined) 3 for four-door models. For 2025, the 3.6-liter V-6 is not available with two doors and an automatic transmission.
Jeep Wrangler Sahara MPG
The Sahara trim has a consistent Jeep Wrangler MPG rating of an EPA-estimated 20/22/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined). This trim comes standard with the turbo engine and only available with an eight-speed automatic and four doors.7
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Rubicon X
With a manual transmission, the Rubicon and Rubicon X deliver the same MPG ratings as the Sport, Sport, S, and Willys trims. In past model years, the eight-speed automatic Rubicon and Rubicon X models had lower MPGs than the equivalent configurations on other trims. For 2025, these ratings are shared with other trims, specifically an EPA-estimated EPA-estimated 18/23/20 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)3 when configured with four doors.
Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392
This HEMI-powered monster is exclusively equipped with the 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 and delivers an EPA-estimated 13/16/14 MPG (City/Highway/Combined). 6
Jeep Wrangler Sport S 4xe, Willys 4xe, Sahara 4xe, Willys '41 4xe, Rubicon 4xe, Backcountry 4xe, and Rubicon X 4xe

As for the recommended Jeep Wrangler type of gas, the 3.6-liter V-6 can take regular gasoline, while the 2.0-liter turbo engine, 4xe hybrid engine, and HEMI V-8 should be given premium gasoline.
