New Liberty 10 mpg?
New Liberty here. I know it's early. 600 miles, but I'm getting a solid
10 MPG in city driving. I'm going out of my way to take it slow and easy, and getting the ECO On display to come on. Is this as good as it gets, or will it improve? Sticker said 16-22. -- JK Sinrod www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com www.facebook.com/MyConeyIslandMemories |

Still though, I suspect your jeep isn't broken in yet. You need to run it at various speeds and not at one constant RPM for quite a while. All slow-and-easy is doing is making it take longer to seat the rings and valves. Although modern engines are a bit quicker to break in, it still takes time for them to get better mileage. -- DougW |

That's as good as it gets!
It's a Jeep and not an economic vehicle by any means... On Thu, 03 May 2012 02:52:36 -0400, JKConey > wrote: >New Liberty here.

Maybe your "Stop-And-Go" driving, at rush hour especially, is more "stop" than "go" and that destroys mileage. I had an old 225 Slant Six Valiant that got a solid 23-25 highway ... but during rush hour in Pueblo CO ... about 10. Budd |

Glad to report that now at about 1000 miles, I just got a whopping 21mph
on the highway! Still sucks in the city. -- JK Sinrod www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com www.facebook.com/MyConeyIslandMemories |
