I'm looking to buy a 1989 Jeep Cherokee Limited 4x4. Wondering what the typical mpg you would get?

Thanks

I think I am getting around 18 -20. I dont drive far, maybe about 30 miles a day and I run a full tank for a little over a week.

 

probably around 16

 

It depends how you drive, and the conditions you drive in I have an 89 Laredo with I6 and auto I can run around on a quarter tank for a couple days so about 20

 

If MPG is of concern to you, you DON'T want a Jeep. The typical XJ gets 15-17 MPG. There are a few getting in the 20's highway, but that is rare.

 

Yeah I was hoping for about 19 or so. Thanks for the info.

 

this is normal. 20 mpg is not. ^

get a hybrid then........

 

I get about 21 doing 65 - 80 mph but only about 14 around town

 

Get a 2 wheel drive for 20+ on the highway. Our 95 got 21 on the highway

 

I don't know how some of you get 20mpg... I averaged 13 mpg at my last fill up. I get a little over 215 miles a tank...

On the plus side... I don't have a car note. I'd rather pay for crappy gas mileage than a 250 car payment.

 

My 87 is down to 10 after the lift and tires. It only got 15 previously though

 

MY 93 2.5L Manual RWD XJ gets around 19-20 city and up to 22-23 highway. If you accelerate/brake and shift efficiently its not difficult to get 20 MPGs. I can't speak for the 4.0 though.

 

you guys are lucky. my 95 (3" lift, 31" muds) gets about 8.5 mpg. thats with about 60% city driving and 40% highway. but i really have a lead foot from red lights.

 

i have 35" mudders and duel lockers with 4.56 gears, i get about 13-15 going 60mph, on the street i get about 11, give or take 1mpg

 

On my 2000 I'm averaging around 16-18. If I'm all highway with light traffic and she's tuned-up pretty well, I'll get about 20.
