I can't believe how much they cost, how little HP they're making out of a V6 (202 I think?), and now how crappy the gas mileage is. And yet chrysler still sells a boatload of them. I know it's more about the offroad capabilities but still. But that's what happens when you make a vehicle that has no relevant competition.
Its a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand. I hate when people say this.
Filled up last weekend and kept forgetting the piece of paper I wrote the information down on. Considering I mostly drive short city trips and I still have new car heavy foot issues I think this is pretty good for my first full tank of gas.
1962 Chevrolet Impala 327 Nitrous Motor (My Avatar) - Milage - You gotta be kidding. What was the question again? Was that miles per gallon or gallons per mile? Tach and Gas Gauge race each other. One goes up fast and the other goes down faster.
I drive a 2007 VW Jetta with a 2.5 L five-cylinder engine (yes, a five-cylinder) and a 6-speed automatic. Usually I get around 23-25 MPG, which is a bit meh but at least it's not as bad as my parents' cars (my mom drives an AWD Chrysler Town & Country and my dad has a big Toyota Avalon).

Gas mileage varies depending how you drive. Shifting around 3500-4000 RPM (keep in mind you can drive a rotary VERY hard, 8k shifts) not letting the other ports actuate can save you tons on gas. But like I posted. When you really have fun with the car... 8-10 mpg is average. But damn if they arent fun!
