Re: weather drop=dramatic mpg drop-is it normal with cherokees???

9.8mpg-that is bad result, i noticed the best result arround september( i managed to get sth like 21mpg), but the man i got the car from was way better-he had that cherro for 17 years and made over that time a kind of a 'service book' with all he noticed and every single part he replaced and modified.from that book i could read that the best result he got was arround 26mpg(yes-hard to believe) during his trip to south africa( i am located in europe), also what i found is proper tire preasure, proper coolant, and soft driving( means use acc add brake pedal) only when nessesery.I was really scary when i got 10mpg but it's all normal now-so the age of the vehicle doe's not matter realy-proper maintenance does,
