#74 of 103 Re: Hemi Commander mileage & range [wjtinatl] by rtatl Jul 10, 2007 (3:13 pm)
Replying to: wjtinatl (Jul 09, 2007 5:15 pm) We just bought a 07 Hemi Commander last week. It has a 21 gallon gas tank and so far we have been averaging 17-18 mpg city driving according to the on board computer. We also have an 03 Toyota Tacoma v-6 4-door pickup truck. I just filled its 16 gallon tank up and am getting only 18.5 mpg city driving. A friend at work with a Toyota Sequoia just complained today that he was getting only 14-15 mpg in it. Why does Toyota brag so much about the gas mileage of their small cars yet keep quiet about their big vehicles?
#75 of 103 Mercedes owner too by morganoi41 Jul 24, 2007 (11:55 am)
Replying to: jaguarjefft (Sep 22, 2006 6:01 am) I read they were going to put the mercedes diesel in the cherokee, but not the commander. Too bad, as I am very tall, and I love boxy cars. My 99 mercedes diesel gets 30 mpg plus at almost any speed. Wish I could put that engine in a commander. Thank goodness I logged onto this site. I was inches away from buying a Commander. Now I think I will get an Element as my brother suggested. Replies to this message: txtoolman1 (Jul 31, 2007 10:29 pm)

Replying to: morganoi41 (Jul 24, 2007 11:55 am) OK. I just got back from three weeks driving from San Antonio Tx. to Estes Park Colorado, Moab Utah, South Rim Grand Canyon,Roswell N. M. (hey I was curious) and in over 3300 miles I average 20.6 MPG. I drove at or near the speed limits, used the air conditioner and drove sanely. It town I get about 16.5. I have a 2wd with the 4.7L V8. It is quiet on the road, rides very well,and was rock steady rain or shine. My commander is a 2006, and it has only had one problem. The radio had to be replaced because only the right speakers had sound. I am a little worried about oil consumption. It drinks a quart about every 2800 miles. I use Mobil One, and it might be a little more prone to consumption, or so I am told. Overall, I like my Commander. It has a kick butt 6 cd player radio and great speakers. So far no water or other types of leaks. Reading this forum makes me a little worried, so I bought a factory warranty for 6 yrs. 85000 miles max care. I hope I don't use it. Mercedes diesels, well one of my employees had one that lasted over 250K with virtually no problems. I'd buy a commander with one.

Replying to: neumie2000 (Jun 26, 2007 4:04 am) A new '07 commander owner here. 4x4 trail rated 4.7 liter. Less than 300 miles on the Jeep right now but already getting a respectable 16 ish in city driving and 21 on highway. los angeles area. I am conservative with acceleration but I don't drive like my grandmother either. I love the commander, great looks and a comfortable safe ride.
#78 of 103 Whats the differerance by bjwbmrcool Dec 01, 2007 (5:07 pm)
I have a 06 Commander with 5.7 Hemi and and my fuel average on the computer was at 8.9mpg, but on the other hand I have a 05 Subaru Legacy GT 2.5 liter Turbo that gets 21.3mpg on the trip computer, but having to fill up the Subaru on premium fuel both vehicles cost around $50.00 each to fill up and last just around the same mileage on a tank of fuel. Both are a blast to drive, cost per mile? around the same
#79 of 103 What MPG are the 3.7L engine Commanders getting ? by katmandu2 Jan 04, 2008 (12:59 am)
What MPG are the 3.7L engine Commanders getting ?
#80 of 103 3.7L Mileage by gavilan1 Jan 24, 2008 (9:17 pm)
In Los Angeles/Orange County, my 2007 3.7L with full-time "4 wheel drive" gets 15.2MPG (highest ever seen was 15.7). No one bought a Commander for the great mileage, but how are hemi owners reporting 19 to 21MPG?
#81 of 103 love/hate relationship Commander by zavfej Apr 05, 2008 (12:24 pm)
'06 Commie driver here - I love the way it looks, am a square vehicle fan (we drove a '96 Trooper, before that an 84 Trooper, after those, an '01 VW EuroVan, now the '06 Commander. We like to drive boxes I guess). Anyway, 4.7 V8 under the hood, foot made of lead, tow 2 ATV's back and forth from NJ to New Brunswick Canada regularly. The worst milage ever was just around 8 mpg for 1200 miles (R/T). Air conditioning was on full the whole time too. With no trailer and my wife driving in rural NJ, we average about 15 mpg. Around town I average around 11. There is some stop and go, but mostly go - ave speed limits in towns around 45 mph. It is what it is at this point. I happen to live near and purchased from one of the best Jeep dealers in the US (Franklin Sussex). I love the Commader's commanding seats up front. The middle row is fine for regular sized folks; the rear seat is a joke. And, worse than that, it robs valuable storage area. She has 36K miles on her now and I am beginning to think of replacing her - as gas goes up in price, the value of the truck (already low - around 15K trade on a good day) will drop - hit 50K miles and it'll drop like a stone. But what other cinder block shaped vehicles are out there for us?? Suggestions? Replies to this message: 75coug (Apr 05, 2008 5:26 pm)

Replying to: zavfej (Apr 05, 2008 12:24 pm) Scion has a square vehicle for you, and it should get good gas mileage.
#83 of 103 2008 4X4 Limited with HEMI by postermike Apr 16, 2008 (5:09 am)
I usually get around 10 MPG (I live in the city and drive 1.8 miles up the road to work) but when I have a chance to get on the expressway, I'm very impressed with the mileage. On a recent trip of about 70 miles on the expressway my average was 17.2. The EPA Highway is 17 so that's fine with me.   For the person who asked about the mileage difference between the 3.7 and 5.7. With the variable displacement engine in the HEMI, I find that over 1/2 the time on a level expressway I'm only running on 4 cylinders so that is probably why the mileage is so good. Also, around town I frequently see it go into "fuel saver" mode where, with the 3.7 it has to struggle to move the vehicle so you're going to use a similar amount of fuel.
