    What brand of Spark Plugs are you running in your 4.0 V6? What mileage did you change your stock plugs at?

    Thanks for the input, I changed them today and they sure needed it. Previous owner had used NGK and I went back to the OEM DENSO stock plugs. Now I am hoping to see my mileage increase from 16 MPG to more.

    Technically NGK is OEM... on the driver's side!

    I doubt the spark plugs are causing your mileage to be that bad. Ease up on the skinny pedal a bit and you'll see much more of an improvement.
