My last tank was 19.6 MPG, about 85% highway. I try to only use Shell gasoline or other top tier blends. 94 Cherokee, all stock.

2000 Cherokee Sport, right at 105,000 miles on it, and I'm getting about 18 to 18.5 mpg back and forth to work and about 19.5 mpg on a road trip (back full of stuff and more stuff in the back seat - we never seem to go anywhere unless we take two times as much stuff as we're likely to need.)

My '99 with the 4.0, AW4 and 3:55 axles with stock 225/75/15's and a 2" lift gets just under 17 mpg with a mixture of city anf highway driving.

I've only owned it a couple months and have put less than 2500 miles on it. I installed the Accel tune up kit and changed all fluids. Less than 1000 miles ago, I installed 784 injectors. It seems to still be running a bit rich. I plan to change the front O2 sensor soon and see if that makes a difference.

I just put a bottle of Auto RX in it about 500 miles ago. This might help with fuel economy, I hope. I'd like to see more like 20 mpg with a little better on the highway.

My old 4.0 87 Laredo got 20 mpg and I was average on the throttle -not pushing it but not driving like grandma- plus I do mostly highway miles where I'm from, but my 86 Wagoneer with the 2.8.

I hate the 2.8. I don't know why They ever used that engine. Rated at 95 hp and 16 mpg, whereas the 2.5 Iron Duke got 20ish mpg for the same power... I went through >$100 a week in gas with that Wagoneer.

Now, I got another 87 4.0 and I'm expecting the same, plus I'm upgrading it with EV6 fuel injectors and everything I can to get better mpg.
