#36 of 102 Re: Real World Mileage for CRD? [tomloy] by 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??
#40 of 102 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited by patstrat Apr 14, 2007 (6:14 am)
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.

Replying to: spencer327 (Apr 26, 2007 4:16 am) I have noticed something interesting about my 2006 Hemi GC Limited. When I am out west in altitudes above about 3000 feet, I can go to the lowest grade of gas without any change other than mileage increases about 2 mpg. I use mid-grade gas the rest of the time. It seems to be a combination of altitude and gas grade.   I have compared how my 4WD GC can perform, it's power potential, pulling ability and weight to other smaller and less capable 4WD's and I am convinced that it is far more fuel efficient. The "expert" comparisons are more like trying to compare a pony to a quarter horse-there can be no meaningful comparison unless capacity is considered.   I understand that Jeep is dealing with an uninformed public, but the Hemi GC is an outstanding product which the competition can't touch. Jeep needs to show a little more guts in backing up this great vehicle.
