Replying to: postermike (Apr 16, 2008 5:09 am) and roomy, for a single guy. It has a 5.7L Hemi with variable displacement engine. On the straight away, I drive on 4 cyl in 'power saver' mode and get 24 mpg  50 mph. I've found the sweet spot to be around 1500 rpm, if you aren't in a rush to get somewhere, it will increase your mpg by 5-10 mpg. I expect after more break in to average 26-28 mpg on regular gasoline. I am happy with my MDE. A few suggestions; when approaching a stop light, put in neutral and coast up to it. When taking off, when you reach 25mph, 'Resume' cruise control. And run on 1/2 fuel to increase milage. Use Quaker+Slick50. |

Replying to: roaeja (Jun 15, 2008 5:13 pm)  I just stumbled upon this website...and tonight I bought a 2006 Commander 5.7 Hemi. I knew it wouldnt be great gas milage, but I thought it would be sticker. Im expecting in November, and went from my bugg to the commander...safety is numero uno. But $ is #2. Is there anything we can add to the gas to increase performance? A certain level or type of fuel? ANYTHING to make the situation just a bit better? Any thoughts would be much appriciated. Did I make a bad choice???

I have the v6 and use the info center to see my mpg and here is what i am getting... After getting on highway I hit reset on the mpg and at around 2k rpm 60 mph it will slowly level off between 20 and 22 mpg Before getting out of my parking spot I hit reset and by the time I get to the highway it will read anywhere from 9 to 13 mpg depending how many red lights I hit If I don't hit reset for a day the reading will stay around 16 mpg I hit reset because this is long term avg mpg reading, maybe some aren't getting correct readings by not hitting reset? Never expected good gas miles out of a cement box but city is about what sticker says and highway is above. As far as lawsuit I can't see how that would even be entered into court when sticker states your miles may vary. In any case I love the jeep, just enough power (i don't tow) and smooth ride. One other thing on whistel sound, check pass fender, there is a bag thing in there make sure it is stuffed in tight, also check gasket on windsheild molding mine was out alittle, after i fixed those two no more whistel.
