All of the Jeeps I have owned from Cherokee to V8 Commander to Grand Cherokee and a Liberty, not in that order. All have about 18 to 22 mpg on the road, less in town. Cherokee should get 17 to 21.

So am I. My 88 only gets 14mpg no matter where I drive. Of course I carry about 900 lbs of tools wherever I go just in case something happens. And I wonder why I'm sagging so much in the rear!
