Save me gas!
I have a 4.0L jeep Cherokee 1999.
148k miles on it.
What can i do to save gas? (no seriously!)
I already go into N as much as possible.
Anyways please help me out.

 

um.. exhaust actually helped me, keeping it around a certain rpm, tires inflated properly, change your air filter, synthetic oil, better oil filter...

 

remember its a jeep not a race car.
make sure your running as good as you can with regular tuneups.

well do a good tune up, check your O2 sensor, and check my fuel saving tips thread

also try stay under 2k on the revs.

 

I know, i keep It under 2 on the rpms as much as possible. And I dont abuse the power. I upped my tires to like 28 psi each on a really cold day. They were 20psi!
Keep the advice coming

 

tires should be about 33psi. if im not mistaken..

 

Try a cold air intake, headers and a Flo master exhaust. Lots of money if you can afford it and if you cant just do one at a time...Tj
PS Remember its a jeep...

 

Cold air Filter.. anyway i can pic one up for not so much. and Im gonna fill the tires up to the 33. Its around 66 degrees here. Js.

 

ohh well IDK about cold weather,, here in PR its always summer, so I would wait till some1 with cold weather expirience shows up..

 

it was weird, i filled up my tank at SA and almost took me a whole tank on my road trip down to winona (200 some odd miles) and it seemed like it was getting really ****ty milage. filled up at bp the other day and im still over full and ive gone to school and back twice and thats about 50 miles. for some reason it seems like bp's gas gets me better mpgs..

my advice for the day.

 

Oh yeah where you buy your gas definitely makes a difference. Where I live local to my house I have 4 stations that sell non ethanol gas and out of the 4 only 1 gives me the best MPG's..He happens to buy fuel with higher levels of detergents then the other 3. Not sure if that's the cause or what but I stick with his gas and pay the extra $.04 per gal..

 

BTW how much is gas around you guys? it's $1.99 here today...Tj

 

i see a huge difference in gas stations around here if i go to the conoco i get awesome mileage but if i go to the shell and put the same amount in i can only go about half the distance.

 

def about where you fill up... i use shell diesel in my truck, get better mileage than any other station. i havent drove the jeep much yet, so i cant comment

 

The place I buy gas at was 1.94 a gal...but there neighbor which is crap gas is at 1.88 a gal..All I can say is it's been some time since I could fill up my tank for just over $20...Now if they were at the price I paid when I was 16 now we'd be talking..
