poor gas mileage with 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic
I just purchased a 2000 Jeeep Cherokee Classic. It has 36K miles and is in excellent condition. It gets very poor gas mileage, only 8-10 mpg! Is this normal for this vehicle or could some problem be causing this poor gas mileage? Thanks, Don

Wow, that is bad mileage.
Do you have a V8 or 6 cyl ? Two whl drive or Four whl dr ? Automatic or manual ? I've got a 99 Cherokee Sport, 4dr, two whl drive, automatic. While towing a show car on flatbed 2 axle trailer, it's gotten between 14 - 16 mpg - and that was at 70 - 75 mph. Not sure what the normal mileage should be, as I have only used it for towing & never check it under "normal" driving conditions. I think I remember 18 mpg using the cruise control once. Unless your running around in 4 whl drive low at 5 grand with the emergency brake on, I can't understand the low mileage. Might have the injectors checked out. Wish you luck. ________________________________________ here's mine . http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...chmentid=18132 Last edited by CoolBlue87GT; 11-15-2002 at 09:55 PM. |

I am glad I found this forum...I have a 1996 Grand Cherokee Ltd. and I am getting what I feel is poor mileage...13mpg in town...15mpg on the highway...straight 6..auto..Quadratrac. It has about 156,000 km on it...
I just changed the fuel filter and plugs...and that made a bit of difference but not much....anything else I should look for?? |
