I bought a 2007 Jeep Compass just recently. I'm getting around 14 to 15 mpg's which is not the 23 to 26 mpg's advertised on the window sticker. Dealer claims it's the oil companies putting more ethanol in gas which is lowering the mpg's. What can I do?

Replying to: jl49 (Sep 24, 2007 12:41 pm) Nothing you can do except attempt to drive differently (try the various hybrid forum "driving tips & tricks" to see some examples of what you can do to get better MPG). The dealer sticker is only meant to be an indicator as a comparison to what other vehicles (in the same class) get for MPG. The fact that the figures are not a guarantee is stated in the fine print at the bottom of the sticker. There is no legal guarantee that you will achieve any particular MPG. If you can demonstrate that the engine is not running correctly you could have that repaired, but if an engine diagnostic does not show any errors it would be difficult to prove anything was wrong. You can't invoke the lemon laws over MPG... Jeeps are notorious (in my limited experience) for lower MPG. Excellent off-road capability though. |

I have a 93 6 cyl with 70,000 mi. About 3 weeks ago the muffler and tailpipe which were already rusted out fell off. The cat converter is still in place. It ran fine after this for about a week, then it went completely dead. The starter was replaced and it ran fine for a few days. Then it started dying after it started and smelling of gas. After waiting for a while, it eventually starts, but only after releasing a plume of smoke. It then runs and idles very sluggishly and at times dies again.I have to start it and immediatley put it in gear and go or it dies. This happens about half of the time. The other half of the time, it starts on the first crank and runs and idles smoothly. I have replaced the filters, spark plugs and treated the injectors and fuel system. Various mechanics have looked at it and none claims to have seen the problem. When it is plugged in to the computer, no codes show up. Can anybody help me??? Thanks
