Don't diss your engine because it has 113K on it. Most new vehicles don't start to get decent gas mileage until they have about 5,000 miles on them. Yours might just be starting to purr. Plus, how the miles were added is more important than the actual mileage on the odometer. If a vehicle was used exclusively in the city for 113K, it will be far inferior to a vehicle that was used for 113K of strictly highway driving.

Oh no, I'm not dissing it at all, but it is a general known fact that engines with mileage on it start to lose compression which can lead to worst gas mileage. In fact I love the way the engine responds for a 6-cylinder on a GC body, I just wish it wasn't as lazy compared to the boxy Cherokee.
I'm not really sure if the previous owner drove her mostly on highway or in the city. From the condition that my truck is in, for all I know he simply used it to cruise from his house to work in some secluded part of New Jersey (that's where the first reported title was issued). It is pretty much in mint condition.
Fuel consumption
Just a thought
If your coolant sensor were to take a dive it would tell the computer that the engine was cold all the time.
Then, The computer would make the engine run rich.
Using more gas.....
That combined with winter weather would cause a noticable decrease in mileage

That's interesting. Wouldn't the CHECK ENGINE light come on though?
I don't know if this is relevant or not, but the other day the CHECK ENGINE light came on. The day before that happened I had taken her to the shop to get the oil changed. Being suspicious of the mechanic, I checked the amount of engine oil and found it needed a quart and a half of oil even though they had just replaced it for me.
The following day after I added the oil, the CHECK ENGINE light went away.
I've been monitoring the engine for any major leakage and there is none that I could tell, so it was definitely not a leak.
