Honestly, I don't know why every Wrangler didn't come with the 4.0L.
Wranglers are aerodynamic bricks, and from what I've read here the 4.0
often gets *better* mileage than the 2.5 because it doesn't have to work
as hard pushing it through the air at interstate speeds.

On mine, I have to downshift out of 5th for even slight hills on the
interstate. It's less of a problem since I installed a 4.0 throttle
body, and I did see a slight 1-2 MPG increase, but it's still no 4.0.
