I met a fellow Tacker owner the other day. He had a 98 4dr/4wd with the 1.6 engine. I didn't notice if his was automatic or stick. He stated that he is getting around 27 MPG. I have a 99 2dr/4wd with the 2.0 engine. I am getting about 23 MPG. I would think that the 2.0 would get better MPG since it should have more power and wouldn't be working as hard. Any thoughts on this? Does the 1.6 motor get that much better gas mileage?

Actually, the 1.6L will give you better gas milleage. Still, I get about 18 to 20 and on good days, I might get 22 with my 1.6L. His engine must be running pretty new for the 27. 22 is great for a 4 wheel drive, just look at the Jeeps with a 6Cyl at 12 to 15 and the Hummers at 7 to 12.
