i just got back from a short day trip...about 110 miles. i averaged about 21 miles per gallon. i normally only get about 16 mpg so im jazzed and thought i'd see what other cherokee owners get mpg? 96 cherokee country 4.0 4wd

 

I get around 15. 92 with 6.5" lift on 33's with stock 3.55 gears. Oh yeah and its an auto.

 

mines auto as well. stock suspension...3.55 gears 260,000 miles on her. i run 30x9.50 tires.

 

I get about 10 mpgs with roughly a 5" lift, 33"s and stock gears. Cracked exhaust manifold (for now!) though

 

97 new plugs wires cap rotor o2 sensor. Getting 12 have a cracked manifold...

 

I have a 98, 3" lift, 31's, usually get between 17-19. When I was driving distances like that everyday I was getting 22 highway. Hope it helps.

 

My stupid gauge doesnt seem to reading right for some reason .

 

How in the world do yall get that? i have a 98 with 3" lift and 30x9.50 tires with stock gear and pull 15.5 at 70 mph on a full tank of highway driving -.- what wrong with my jeep! lol

Im about to order a hypertech programmer and k&n cold air. maybe that will help me out

 

10 MPG and its tuned up and running good, bone stock 89 auto!
^
I hate that mileage!

 

98 all stock 20avg city highway mixed driving, but it will be lfted on 33 in a couple weeks.

 

I was getting 13.4 mpg in my '95 XJ Sport: I6 4.0L, NP231 and AW-4 auto on el cheapo 31x10.50 Falken all terrain tires (4 inch lift). The engine is a 40,000 mi replacement out of a 2008 JOUO (LOL--"Jeep of Unknown Origin). I aired the tires up to 50, but that was a little much, so I went back down to 40 psi, and started running 89 octane unleaded instead of 87, and my mileage improved quite a bit. Today I filled up and calculated mileage and I'm getting 15.5 mpg.

How you drive a 4.0L has a tremendous effect on gas mileage. The 4.0L engine is pretty similar to the old Chevy inline-6. Lots of torque, but sort of limited on the top end. If you cowboy it off of every light, and run up the rpms, then stand on the brakes, you can expect crappy mileage. I drive the speed limit and try to keep my foot out of the accelerator. Gentle starts, slow stops, and accelerate slowly. Every time you put your foot in it, you are blowing $$$ out the tailpipe. Just my $0.02.

 

My '01 2wd, AW4-auto typically gets 21 to 22 mpg at 75mph freeway speeds. A few years ago it got 23.9 on an 800-mile round trip between Atlanta and Daytona but I was really TRYING for mpg....driving at posted speed limits, not passing anyone, gradual accelerations, damn near hypermiling. Not really worth the extra 2 mpg...I think it only saved my $10 in gas.

In-city stop-and-go driving drops it down to 16 to 17 mpg.

Towing a loaded 5x8 trailer at 60mph in 3rd gear drops it to 15 mpg.

 

10 to 12 no matter what 3 in lift 32s stock gears auto tranny and freash rebuilt motor maybe 250 miles total on it

 

5 miles per beer.
