Jeep Grand Cherokee Gas mileage comparison
I am a statistical person. Or as my wife says when I'm bragging to her about some of my stats, "You are a sick man." I keep stats on everything. A few of my ongoing stats are minim
um and maximum temperatures for every day for the past six years so I can compare the average to the current day's minimum and maximum -- the amounts of each snowfall and rainfall -- the days I mow the lawn -- the miles, gallons of gas, and miles per gallon for each fill up for my vehicles. That means I can compare the mileage I am currently getting with my Jeep Grand Cherokee to the smaller, sportier car I had before the Jeep.

That means I can compare the mileage I am currently getting with my Jeep Grand Cherokee to the smaller, sportier car I had before the Jeep.My previous car had a V-6, 3.0 liter engine. My Jeep Grand Cherokee has a Straight-6, 4.0 liter engine. I am averaging 18 MPG overall driving about 35 miles per day with a lot of in-town driving. Using the average cost per gallon for the year, the difference comes to $1.00 more per day with my Jeep Grand Cherokee. So I have extra power plus all the benefits I've mentioned in previous posts on this blog. I consider the extra $1.00 per day well worth it.

Ha ha ha. My jacked up 1990 cherokee sport with 35 inch tires gets under 15 mpg. Although the exhaust was having major problems and it's now getting fixed. Maybe that will help.
But - I still love driving it. I drove it from New Jersey to Minnesota when I moved out here in 2003 and plan on driving it from Minnesota to Maine this summer.
