I brought a used 05 with 60k on it. I checked all the websites edmunds, kbb, jeep etc and evne though I got a great deal on it from Ebay. The issue is that it sucks fuel like crazy. 14.6 city/18.5 highway. I figure a few of you guys may have one. Any ideas to improve milage would be appreciated. :shocked:

That's about right, not much you can do.. They are gas guzzlers and have always been..

What engine?

They did away with the old reliable 4.0 straight 6 in 2005, which in the right hands could do 17 city/21 highway (hands like mine, for example ;) ) and replaced it with a crappy 3.7 V-6 which is rated for what you're getting. And if you have the 4.7 V-8 you're doing very well.

However, at 200K miles, my highway gas mileage has dropped from the 20-21 mpg range to about 17-18.
