Why the MPG difference between the Sport and the Classic?
Everything I've read says the only difference is trim but look at KBB's MPG ratings:
http://i44.tinypic.com/33ud0yw.jpg http://www.kbb.com/jeep/cherokee/199...tion=excellent I'm assuming it's the same motor but I have seen two different codings on VINS: 4.0L I6 MPI OHV 4.0L I6 FI If these are essentially the same, the MPG difference must be the weight of the extras, no? (Especially since the Limited is also rated lower MPG.) It would appear the better mileage would be on the Sport. Or maybe I'm reading it wrong and the 16/22 rating is for Manual trans...:confused1: Just looking for the best mileage... Hoping someone could clarify. FWIW: The way Jeep codes the VIN, it doesn't appear there is just a "Classic." The selections I've seen on VINs are: SPORT, SPORT/CLASSIC and SPT/CLASSIC/LTD. And Carfax seems to be the only way to truely tell the difference.:brickwall: |
One in 2 wheel drive and the other is 4 wheel

?? Hell I don't know
|
Looks to me like they posted the maximum rating, which was with the manual.

H.O vs non H.O. engines or gearing?

No, its because the sport is the only one that came with the manual. And the manual always gets better mileage. I can attest to this b/c my 95 sport manual could get 22-24 mpg hwy (in stock trim) and my older 96 sport auto barely ever saw 20, more like 18 hwy. Both sports were almost identical too
Still can hit 20mpg once in a while |

Still can hit 20mpg once in a while So you're thinking it's more the way they have that graphic laid out? It is misleading. I'm looking at 96-99 Sports. 18mpg isn't anything to write home about it but beats the **** out of my Silverado @ 13mpg.:icon_smile: |
Also the sport came with no "options" it was bare bones there fore much lighter in weight less weight equals better mileage
Also I wish I could get 13 out of my silverado best so far was 8.6 mpg |

My Renix gets 23 to 25MPG AX15, 3.07's 4wd.
Heck I towed a Nissan truck home on the car dolly and got 20mpg. but I wasn't running 70mph either. Now if I hook my 23' Catalina to it, all bets are off. That thing is like pulling a wall. Its drops it to 12 to 13mpg. |
My bad.... my 95 sport has absolutely no extras and I'm lucky to get 12 with my 33s
