Jeep Cherokee 3.7L consumption

Also, has anyone tried PULP for better economy in the Jeep? Works out even around town and better on the highway in the Paj, and there's a noticeable performance improvement.

Just a thought..maybe try a lighter right foot..?

Hey scubaroo, I bought the Jeep for my wife its a mid 04 mod, biggest piece of chit, I hate even walking past it in my drive way, worst 50K I have ever spent should have got the pathfinder.

Anyways its getting around 280KLM to a tank, and that's the wife driving, worse mileage if I jump in it.

I have complained to Jeep service department many a times they are about as good as tits on a bull! There come back the mileage gets better around 35,000KLM it gets broken in.. Yeah and pigs fly! Mine has just clicked over 20,000.

My next step is write a letter to Jeep and bypass the dealers, because there is some thing definitely wrong with that.

Have you noticed the fuel consumption sticker when you bought it, around 13.5L/100KLM, why don't they just put a sticker on it that says 500KLW of power Ejector seats bullet proof glass etc. I figure if there going to bull chit may as well go all the way...

On a more positive side I bought a new Patrol for me about 4 months old now and am very happy with it!

Very Best of Luck with yours...

Babs.

My old man bought a Jeep but went for the 2.8 CRD. He gets about 10.9 l/100km on the highway. He had heard that the petrols use almost twice as much, so your figures maybe right. I also have a mate who sold his petrol Jeep because he couldn't keep the juice up to it. His missus only used it around town too.

Well cleaning the air filter and pumping the tyres (ranged from 27psi to only17psi!!!) to an even 33psi has resulted in an immediate savings - 16.5L average instead of the 20L average for their trip into work.
