Another mileage thread- 90s Cher-GW?
I am considering buying a 1990-2000 Cherokee or Grand Waggy for my wife
(who hates snow), and keeping it stock. What kind of mileage are those of you who own these rigs getting? -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |

Our 88 5 speed gets 25 or more mpg on the highway with about 10 less in
our city driving. Short trips. Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's Canadian Off Road Trips Photos: Non members can still view!

For what it's worth ... winter mileage (4wd in snow, slush ... cold
weather driving) is about 80% summer mileage (2wd) going by km on the odometer at fillups ... 450km or so winter vs 550-600km summer. 4.0L HO, 4 spd auto, command-trac. So if my summer is 10-11 litres/100km, winter is ... getting expensive :-) But it's worth it for me (tows my boat in summer ... don't ask about the mileage the boat gets) and no way will I go back to 2wd up here in winter ... and the 4.0L uses regular ... so there's a 10-30% cost bonus. |

Around town, about 14-18. Flat freeway keeping it under 70, about 21-22. Really hilly freeway and/or running at 75+ gets 19-20. Stock I6 except for cat back, synth blend oil, and michelins. |

Nope, 4.0 Renix MPFI engine that AMC set up.
It runs very nice, just the body is falling off the wheels at about a chunk per mile.... I am going to swap some stuff over to a 'new' 87 4 door with the same engine/tranny combo I just picked up that still has floorboards even... ;-) Mike Stupendous Man wrote: > > "Mike Romain" > wrote in message > ... > > Our 88 5 speed gets 25 or more mpg on the highway with about 10 less in > > our city driving.

My '97 Cherokee 4.0L gets over 13mpg towing a large (over 2 ton) trailer (that has the aerodynamics of a big brick, since it's a box, 12' x 8') and between 19-22 without the trailer on a run. -- Regards, Danny http://www.gaggia-espresso.com (a purely hobby site) http://www.dannyscoffee.com (UK advert for my mobile espresso service) http://www.malabargold.co.uk (UK/European online ordering for Malabar Gold blend) swap Z for above characters in email address to reply |

Thanks guys.
I have an 80 Dtasun 4x4 pickup i got for free, and it's rusting and burns oil, won't smog so i cant sell it, but live in a no-smog county so i can drive it. It is a terrible offroader (IFS), and the cab is too small for me. This is my Wifes snow car now, but I found out the State of California will pay me $1000 for it if it fails smog so I guess that's about half of what a XJ will cost, and get about the same mileage. I have a trailer with a toyota pickup bed, so really don't need the pickup. -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |
