Jeeps and great gas mileage? You never saw those words in the same sentence. Most people bought a jeep for the 4 wheel drive, to use on or off-road. But the mileage picture may be changing.

According to the web site fueleconomy.gov the Official EPA Window Sticker Fuel Economy for a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee 8 cylinder, which was the first year for the Grand Cherokee, was 14 mpg city and 18 highway. By 2003 a 8 cylinder Grand Cherokee had an Official EPA Window Sticker Fuel Economy of 15 mpg city and 20 highway. Not a big increase in the city mileage.

2010 saw a slight dip in the 8 cylinder 5.7L EPA Sticker to 13 mpg city and 19 mpg highway.

For 2011 the 5.7L engine stayed the same at 13 and 19 mpg. The 3.6L 6 cylinder broke the 20 mpg barrier with 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. So with a little less power you can save money on you fuel costs with the 6 cylinder. That savings equals about $453 a year according to EPA estimates.

What about the 3.6L using E85? EPA estimates are 12 mpg city and 16 highway. Yearly fuel costs are about $325 more then the 3.6L using regular gas. So why use E85? It's called a Carbon Footprint.

A carbon footprint is the measurement of tons per year of CO2 emissions. It is a full-fuel-cycle estimate of fuel use, from production and refining to distribution and final use.

The 5.7L engine has a Carbon Footprint of 12.4. The 3.6L with regular gas is 10.4, while the 3.6L on E85 comes in at 7.6.

So the mileage picture is changing. But for better or worse still remains to be seen.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Remains Jeep's Flagship

Despite the coming of new Jeep models, the Grand Cherokee has remained to be the flagship for the Jeep line which has been expanding in the past few years. Jeep is offering more models now than it did 65 years ago.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is still a mid-size, four-door, five-passenger SUV with a two-piece tailgate. It is offered in three four wheel drive systems: the Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II and the Quadra-Drive II which boost Grand Cherokee’s off-road capabilities with items such as the electronic limited slip differentials.

The edge of the Grand Cherokee over its rivals is not only its top-of-the-line Jeep Cherokee parts but more of its impressive off-road prowess which is unparalleled in the SUV segment. The Cherokee has the highest percentage of off-road use among SUVs although some Jeep enthusiasts think that the iconic Wrangler is the best when it comes to off-roading.

The grand Cherokee is also remarkable when it comes to highway or freeway driving. Its new engine, trim level choices and driveline has made it into the versatile vehicle that it is today. The retail price of the Grand Cherokee ranges from $27,665 to $42,690 and offered in four variants: the Laredo, Limited, Overland, and the hot rod SRT8. All these variants have four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and traction/anti-skid control with rollover sensors. They are also fully equipped and loaded with numerous option packages.

The new 2007 Grand Cherokee gets a new upgrade in terms of its interior and exterior trims plus it also gets the optional new Mercedes-Benz turbocharged diesel V-6. Its diesel engine revs up 215 horsepower and a potent 376 lb-ft of torque perfect for heavy towing. But the best thing about the Grand Cherokee is its fuel economy which only reaches 18 mpg for city driving and 24 mpg for highway driving.

Other improvements made on the Grand Cherokee includes the addition of curtain-side air bags with rollover deployment and flex-fuel capability for the 4.7 liter V8, which enables it to run on 85 percent ethanol (E85) and in the process reduced emission of harmful C02. Remote start is made standard for the Limited and Overland but offered as an option on the Laredo. The rearview camera is optional for all variants.

Jeep questions.. which years are the best, what to avoid? Cherokee or Wrangler?

I'm getting a car for myself and the wife is getting the sedan. I'm looking for a Jeep, either Cherokee or Wrangler. I know the wrangler is a bit small to tote a baby around in but this isn't the primary family car.

That said, what years are best? What to avoid? I don't really need 4x4 or a 6 cyl engine. A four cylinder wranger with an automatic is fine.

I only have about 5k for one, maybe 5500 but I'm paying cash (private party)

Thoughts?

that money will buy a late 80's-eartly 2000's used wrangler. These are great and a lot of fun. If you aren't worried about speed and worried about gas then 4cyl is enough. It got the GI's through WWII and many other spots. The 6cyl is the best for power and speed, but mileage is a little lower and 8cyl is fun, but unnecessary in a small vehicle unless you live at the end of an off road challenge. Go test drive one with the top and doors of and you'll never look back. Oh yeah, and real men and jeep owners drive stick. It's just a lot more fun and easier for control when you're off the beaten path. Have fun, Good luck. Oh yeah, I don't think they even make a jeep without 4wdrive. You say you don't need it, but you've obviously never driven a jeep in the winter, it's a very light vehicle, you'll need it.
