Sounds like a very capable rig. Gears will probably be little deep but that is perfect for wheeling, and nice for when you step up to a 35"+ tire.

The mpg will be better with stop and go yet worse with highway... the reason is the engine will have to work faster to keep up with the lower gears and keep the jeep moving at a high rate of speed on the highway with means bad MPG....on the other hand the engine will need less power to get the jeep moving from a stop or up hills which makes for better MPG
