You are in the Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Grand Cherokee Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
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) 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). |

| 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. | |

| got 05 wrangler rag top,cant seem to get but about 16/17 mpg,anyone got any suggestons | |
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.

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 ? |

I've only got about 600 miles on it so far, but I am getting about 15.8 mpg in the city on my '08 Grand Cherokee Overland (Hemi 5.7 V8); I will post later as I get it broken in and have some highway driving....I'm pleased with this figure, as I expected it to be more like 13 mpg... I love the "fuel saver" option (where the fuel is conserved because it uses 4 of the 8 cylinders when driving at a steady speed)....it makes me more conscious of the way I drive. Although....I can't resist just blowing off some jerk every once in a while (but then the fuel gauge just goes...."gulp") |
