Replying to: johndperry (Oct 25, 2006 3:21 am) Sorry to hear about all your troubles with the dealers.   I purchased my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Mac Grubbs Motors in Columbia, Mississippi. They handle Ford, GMC, Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep. They service our 2004 Dodge Ram 1500, 2004 Mustang GT, 2004 Ford Windstar Van and my Jeep. My experience has been fabulous including replacement, at no charge, of an air-conditioning compressor on the van after the warranty had expired.   They have good computer equipment and well trained technicians.   I've never had few problems with dealers. I don't understand why any dealer of any brand of automobile would not want to repair their product under warranty. Dealers make little on new car sales, better on used cars but their bread and butter is service. Good service means happy customers and better income for the dealership.   Integrity and honesty, I suppose, are found less and less often these days and for sure competence runs parallel to character. I urge you to meet personally with the regional representative and/or the general manager of the dealership.   There is someone who will not be happy with the quality of service you received and having the experience of finding that person would serve you well in the future on other similar problems. Find someone who understands that honesty and integrity are about faith in God-there are lots of folks who do care.   I really am sorry that you had this experience-it just really sucked.

Replying to: transpower (Jul 23, 2006 5:03 pm) Look at the rear end ratios. The european rear end ratio runs a 3.55, while the US runs a 3.73.   Tom Loy Replies to this message: podedwards (Nov 30, 2006 12:13 pm)

Replying to: tomloy (Nov 12, 2006 6:01 am) Rear end ratios can effect mileage but the choice of rear end ratio depends on the application. A 3.55 will get a better mileage on flat roads at highway speeds but will get poorer mileage climbing or under load. It invlovesd the application of energy to produce force. http://www.howstuffworks.com/fpte.htm is a good site forlearning the basics.

#38 of 102 Grand Cherokee Laredo gas mileage by pikala Mar 20, 2007 (8:04 pm)
Replying to: steve_ (Feb 26, 2007 8:52 pm) I recently purchased a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (and love it), but I don't seem to be getting the mileage that everyone talks about. I haven't oficially done the test to see how much it gets, but I don't even get 300 miles to the tank. I'm getting around 270-280. Is this normal or is anyone else experiencing this??

Hi New Here...hows everyone doing? I have a 1998 jeep Grand limited with 111,000 miles I had it for a year now..nice car..lots of features..nice handling.. BUT the gas usage on this V8 car stinks...I am filling this car up almost every other day! 30.00 to 45.00 every time ... seems like I fill it up on Wed...and its at the halfway mark by Fri.. and I just drive the car around my neighhood! taking my kids back and forth to school...its like there is a hole in the tank where the gas just leaks out when I put gas in the SUV,,,,,is there anything that i can do to at least manage this problem..gas is too high for me to have to fill up almost every other day...

#41 of 102 better mpg for your next grand cherokee by elias Apr 16, 2007 (7:29 am)
The diesel grand cherokee is available in showrooms now, as long as you are in the market for a new & maxxed-out-with-options model. (>$40k retail).

Replying to: patstrat (Apr 14, 2007 6:14 am) My 2006 5.7 Hemi Grand Cherokee consistently averages between 17-18 mpg around town and between 20 and 23 in highway driving but I use a light foot. Consider a tune up, inflating tires to max pressure, and driving with a light foot. Consolidate driving needs and consider letting the kids walk to school.
