I am considering buying a 2008 Grand Cherokee 4WD with the 4.7L. I read how Jeep made some small tweaks from the 2007 model year to improve fuel economy while boosting horsepower pretty significantly. I live in Chicago and will probably be doing mostly city driving. Thanks! |

I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee v8 4.7L with 160,000 miles on it. I recently took a road trip and pushed 26.5mpg out of it on all highway. I divided my gallons by how many miles I drove and it matched up. If I do normal driving I get anywhere from 17.5 - 18.5 mpg depending how much stop and go I do... I have noticed that changing my spark plugs every 35,000 miles and changing the fuel filter about every 20,000 really goes a long way in boosting my fuel mileage... *** I do not have the all wheel drive model, I have the Selec-Trac which is able to go either from 2WD or 4WD... with 4WD I get around 11 - 13mpg. |

| I have the 2000 Inline 6 and i get great gas millage. My commute its bout 50/50 city/highway and off road couple times a month, and the computer in the Jeep says I get 19 MPG. I am not a slow driver by all means. I was around 21 MPG til I went over 120K miles im at 153K now and its still running fine. A few things have went bad, had to replace the fan assembly, and 2 tie rods and a part of the steering column from off road driving but thats a given some times. but just regular maintenance oil, trans fluid, and coolant and mine runs fine. For a 4x2 my Jeep can scare a few 4x4s. I can stay in line with them and still not break the bank at the pump, i really do not see why ppl think the 4x2 is so bad same set up as the 4x4 just smaller engine and front wheels are not engaged. and i love my inline it is such a smooth engine. | |
