Replying to: spencer327 (Apr 26, 2007 4:16 am) 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. |

| Hello to all, well it has come time to replace my Liberty CRD with another SUV with respectable fuel consumption and towing ability. I need to do this sooner (30days) than the new GM products will be for sale, ie Tahoe/Yukon Hybrids. I can purchase the JGC CRD for roughly the same as the Highlander Hybrid (mid 30's). Has anyone purchased the new CRD? Does anyone know where a leftover 06 Libby CRD is? Replies appreciated! | |

Replying to: spencer327 (Apr 26, 2007 4:16 am) 10.5 mpg in town and 16 hwy with cruise at 70 on flat grade. MDS doesn't really exist, engine surges, flat acceleration unless geared down. Junk.

Replying to: sonnet11 (May 28, 2007 3:09 pm) I just completed a 1,450 mile trip from Mississippi to Grand Lake, Colorado with a total elevation gain of 8,200 feet, traveling on mountain roads from Raton, New Mexico to Grand Lake, Co. I cruised at 76 mph on Interstate. My verified average mpg was 18.9. On Interstate stretches it average 20.3. I wonder about why your mileage is lower. If you are concerned about gas mileage, why would have purchased a 5.7 Hemi Grand Cherokee in the first place?

Replying to: eric091572 (Jun 01, 2007 9:53 am) The 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi should have MDS, you can check it by VIN number, also see at what speed MDS is active for your car.
