OK, a little anecdotal evidence to counter this. I have a '95 YJ, 4 cyl, 5 speed, all stock. My kid had a '95 YJ, 4 cyl, auto, all stock. I consistantly got about 4-5 miles to the gallon better than him over the same roads. Of course we weren't plowing snow at the time. -- Old Crow "Yol Bolsun!"

If you are looking for a "vintage" or somewhat older Jeep having already decided on a trans type may be a limiting factor. Of course, if you are looking for a new Jeep, you can get it in whichever you want. For what it's worth, I have an auto in my '87 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and like it. I tend to shift it manually a lot while on the road & off. Of course, you don't really get the same level of control as you do a stick, but I like it. It's nice to be able to hop in & not worry about clutching sometimes. On the other hand, the auto transmission in my Jeep tends to get warm when the transmission is under load. With a large "towing package" cooler in front of my radiator, it heats up the entire engine compartment while off roading if in high-range. I think it really comes down to what you want to use it for & what your personal preferance is. Even with the drawbacks, I like the auto in my Jeep. Good luck! Clay |
