Gas mileage....hot topic every few years or so.

My MPG is based on the onboard computer calulations. Have not done a match up of physical vs indicated.

Sold off my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD inline six that would do 21 MPG if baby footed on the HWY, stuff like decrease throttle pressure up hills, slow exceleration, etc. Fresh oil and filters. Upgraded to K&N intake tube with filter. The hard take offs and cold starts suck more fuel than a steady foot at 75MPH. According to the onboard 56 MPH is the prime fuel spot on a flat surface. (drag issues?) Once again only computer indicated. Not going to go down the SAE calibrated 2 gal seperate fuel tank method, as we are not doing EPA testing on this site, I hope

Around town it gets some 14-18mpg.

Love the romp that these SAV beasts provide. Really enjoyed the ride, handling and appearance these have over the
competitors. Nice day only daily driver for me as I have a Mini van for wet weather that is expendable and a M5 for Sunday morning blasts through the twisties. Each have their intended purposes.
