#2 of 22 Unlimited Auto by drewmeister Sep 03, 2005 (9:37 am)
Running a little highway, mostly city. Capacity 19 gallons. Usually fill-up is about 16. Miles covered around 250-260. Best tank was 310 miles on the highway. Worst has been about 230. MPG by my rough estimate is about 15.5. Best was 19, worst about 14.

Live in Aurora, CO (Denver) recent in-town, normal driving (Stock jeep) 18.66 MPG. Wife and I did a Rocky Mount. Nat. Park trip across Trail Ridge Road around through Granby, CO. and back to Aurora. Fuelled in Granby and got 22.05 MPG and then again at Buckley Air Force Base, and this fill figured at just over 19.77 MPG. Don't have 1000 miles yet. Lot of Jeep owners that I talk with indicate less MPG but, I always see "BIG" rubber on their vehicles. I normally drive with traffic flow and will see, on occasions, 70 MPH. I just stepped out of a 02 trooper S 4X4 which, did get about the same and maybe a little less MPG , normal driving, flat land however, mountains, however, was not as good as the jeep. Have not been off road yet but, other wise, the jeep drive just great.
#5 of 22 2005 Wrangler Unlimited V6 Automatic by jimlw2 Sep 27, 2005 (10:58 am)
Took ownership at the end of May 2005 and currently have 3,200 miles on it. Love the vehicle but mileage is low. Get about 250 miles per tank and averaging 15 mpg. I've had a couple tanks get about 18 mpg when it's been mostly highway driving and I've had some 14 mpg tanks when it's been mostly city driving. I track total mileage and total gallons since purchased which gives me the 15 mpg average. If Jeep decides to do a diesel Wrangler in the future, that might help witht he mileage issue.

Replying to: jimlw2 (Sep 27, 2005 10:58 am) Jim, Sounds like you and I have the exact same figures. I love my Unlimited, but would have bought a diesel in a second if that engine had been offered.   I'm already wondering if the CRD diesel will ever be offered as a replacement engine, and if it would be worth it to do all the upgrades that would be required. My neighbor replaced an old diesel in his flatbed one-ton Chevy truck, and the work seemed minimal going the other way, but the new hi-tec CRD is a whole 'other animal. Then again, these I6 4.0's have been known to go more than 200k miles (they're very strong, with heavy duty parts).
#7 of 22 Liberty '05 3.7 With Manual over 20 mpg by movingalong Oct 28, 2005 (11:28 am)
My wife is the usual driver of our liberty. We both love the feel of the stick. She usually keeps the RPM's in the 1500 to 2000 range on flat 40 to 50 speed limits. We are pleased to find that we usually get over 20 MPG based on several fills. There is still plenty of power when you downshift.

#9 of 22 5.7L Fuel Economy by jherbst Jan 27, 2006 (9:09 pm)
I have had my '05 JGC Limited -- 5.7L, Quadradrive II -- for just over 10 months. After 16K+ miles and playing with the computer vs. driving style/speed, I can now consistently get 15+ mpg for my kind of in-town driving. I have found I can get a little over 18 mpg highway by staying under 70 and being careful with the acceleration and braking. Most of the time, it's closer to 17 on the highway. The most annoying thing is the dern small fuel tank. I don't mind the cost, I just wish it wasn't so often. Something bigger than 20.8 gallons sure would be appreciated.
#10 of 22 05 liberty V6 auto 2wd by xkmail Apr 25, 2006 (9:12 am)
always 22 combined, around town 19mpg. Once I switched to synthetic oil I gained 2mpg. always drive 70 or so on the highway, accelerate slowly in the city. I am thinking of changing from 3.73 to 3.09 rear gears for $900. Anybody tried this ?
