Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / March 2008MPG on Jeep Wrangler
What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing? I'm considering selling the F350 since I am no longer living in the country and no longer have a call for it. I'm thinking of replacing it with a 4cyl or 4.0L 6 cyl wrangler depending on mileage reports.  SignatureChris > What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing?

I can give the mileage on a 81 CJ7 if that would help.<G> Roy >> What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing?

Well, with bike week it has been a bit hectic. We live just down the road from a real senic route that they ride constantly but it ends today.

My grandcritters mommy has a '01 Wrangler automatic and 4 cyl and it does about 18-19-20 mpg just driving around. I don't think she's ever had it on the highway to check it. Most of the 6 cyl's that I know about get about 14-15 mpg. Denny >> What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing?

I'm good for about 13-14mpg, But with the tires and the lift and it is like pushing a 4X8 sheet of plywood down the road I guess I'm not doing so bad.. No BS about my weight Denny!

He spent too many hours pushing white gold around and now he's bitchy.<BFG> I suggested to ya that you go to bed and go back out in the morning, but no, you had to play iron man. Ya dent a fender or what? Man I know exactly how ya feel, been there, done that, have the T shirt and the dented fender. Was watching the news, saw all the snow, went to the beach and hoisted a cold one for ya my friend, then laughed my skinnny a.s off just thinking about the bs your going through <GBMFG> Roy. >>>>> No BS about my weight Denny!

Ya dent a fender or what? Wow, I think Chris did hit a nerve. With a response like that, you would think just maybe the bunny got caught trading 'da machine' in for 'da snowbitch'.

I'm thinking that perhaps he and the snow fool had a bit of a spat. Remember, they are sorta neighbors. <BFG> The fun ya can have when old fur face is sleeping. <G> Actually, looking at the weather, he's probably back at it again.

I figured with that amount of time in the plow truck you had to be helping him out....otherwise why ya spending so much time plowin??? ya know he's got that K5 and we know how well a chebby is suited for work ;) <GBG> SignatureChris >> What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing?

Just be sure you drive that 4 cyl for awhile before you decide on it. I think it's really underpowered. My daughter likes it but I sure don't. Shut up Roy........

Due to your being over tired, hungry (a huge deal for you) and cranky, I will refrain from tossing the cheap shot that your above post deserves. <BFG> Roy >>> What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing?

Chris, You want mileage? The wife hit a best of 45 mpg with her toyota hybrid, usually it is 38 combination driving. Didn't you have a diesel jeep? One that I couldn't buy in MA? Take a look here: www.jeepforum.com It has a ton of info on all jeeps. I've been reading that most have found the 4cyl to be a bit underpowered. I've found my jeep to be okay for running around town to the beach and back stuff like that but that's about it. But that is exactly what bought it for, that and I can hose it out after a day at the beach fishing. Roy >>>> What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing? I'm >>>> considering selling the F350 since I am no longer living in the [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Roy Yea I had a diesel jeep but i had to sell it. =( a little financial difficulty while my wife is looking for a new job. So I had to cut that payment. Anyway I'm living in an apartment now and my 1 ton Ford fills a parking spot....well a little more than fills, and i dont have the land to take care of anymore so i'm selling the tractor and considering getting rid of the truck for something a little more economical/fun to drive. SignatureChris >>>> What kind of mileage are you guys that have a wrangler seeing? I'm >>>> considering selling the F350 since I am no longer living in the [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Roy I'm not looking to buy new, and down here the hybrids are not popular from what I've seen so there's not many of them on the used market. I may wind up in a little econo box..... depends on what i find for what price. My wife wants me to get a little 4 cyl truck like a Toyota or Mazda. I just don't know that I really want another truck unless its a diesel and i don't want to feed one at today's prices since i don't need it that much anymore.

That forum is about cj's, yj's, tj's, all of them in separate sub forums. Also a classified section that usually has some pretty good stuff listed. I'd think that the hybrids aren't on the used car market because nobody is getting rid of them. Dealers here are getting msrp or better and there's a wait. It will get worse as gas prices go up.

It gets around 40MPG but diesel around here is outragous. Regular is between $3.15 to $3.25 a gallon while diesel is over $3.85! When the dealerships are offering their low and no interest deals they include the diesels now. Hey Mac, what is going on with rec.woodworking?

Well, fuel is cheap here, but my main thing with a little diesel is reliability and low maintenance.. and lots of torque at low rpm's doesn't hurt..

It's not here. Now the price for diesel is 3.85 to 3.99 a gallon. I'm glad I decided to wait and not buy one last year. > The wRECk is alive and well.. probably averages about 200 posts a day..

We have my wife's aunt and uncle visiting here from N. Dakota in their new Honda hybrid... said after the first 2,000 miles the MPG went from 38 to 49 almost over night..

The first time I check it, it got 15.3 mpg the 2nd time 14.6 mpg and that's half highway half city. Not the best gas mileage but they are wicked fun to drive. |
