I've got a 94 YJ. With the 2.5 4 cylinder and manual trans. Yes, the thing is gutless and noisy, and the fuel economy *might*have equal that of the 6, but for my purposes, it does just fine. It'll do 70 on the freeway, and since I don't drive it much more than 25-30 miles at a time, it's okay. I'd love to have the six, but frankly, those were out of my price range unless I wanted the optional "Flintstones road visibility package ". If all you want/need is a simple, relatively cheap, 4wd runabout, don't overlook the 4 cyl. YJ.
