* Engine type: The 2003 Wrangler came with a few different engine options (2.4L 4-cylinder, 4.0L 6-cylinder). The 4-cylinder will generally get better gas mileage than the 6-cylinder.
* Transmission type: Automatic or manual transmissions will also affect fuel economy. Manual transmissions usually offer slightly better mileage.
* Driving conditions: City driving will result in lower MPG than highway driving. Terrain (off-roading significantly impacts fuel economy), speed, and even weather can all play a role.
* Vehicle condition: Proper maintenance (tire pressure, tune-ups) is crucial for optimal fuel efficiency.
Therefore, there's no single answer. However, you can expect a range of:
* 4-cylinder: Around 15-18 mpg city and 18-21 mpg highway.
* 6-cylinder: Around 13-16 mpg city and 16-19 mpg highway.
These are estimates. The actual mileage you get will likely fall within this range, but could be higher or lower depending on the factors listed above. Checking used car listings for similar models might give you a better idea of real-world fuel economy reported by owners.
