Depends on the type of city driving. Lots of start/stop is not going
to get good MPG. Still though, I suspect your jeep isn't broken in
yet.
You need to run it at various speeds and not at one constant RPM
for quite a while. All slow-and-easy is doing is making it take
longer to seat the rings and valves. Although modern engines are
a bit quicker to break in, it still takes time for them to get
better mileage.
