I assume you realize what a poor comparison that is. Totally different vehicles and probably geared differently.
That Cherokee was also available with the 2.5 liter and got better fuel mileage than the 4 liter version.
My wife's parents buy a new Ford every couple of years (both retired auto engineers). They just traded in their 3 liter V6 four door Escape for a 2.5 liter I4 4 door Escape. Both auto, both 4WD, and both turn the same RPM at 65 MPH. The 3 liter V6 got a best of 24.5 MPG and lifetime average of 17 MPG. The 2.5 liter so far has gotten a best of 31 MPG and an average of 22 MPG. I drove it with five people and a big dog in it, and am quite impressed with it.
problem with that comparison is the jeep wrangler is terribly un aerodynamic compared to the cherokee
