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.

5.7L Fuel Economy by jherbst

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 ?

New JGC Hemi City MPG by chigirlintexas

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")

It gets between 14.5 - 17 mpg on highway at 70-80 mph. City 13-16. I put about 3000 miles on a month. My driving is always with cruise on. I was told Cherokees can get in the 20's. That must be at 45 on a flat road!
