the display showed as 23- 24mpg instant on the highway on the test drive. thats what IT, the car itself promised. Now that I picked it up it's barely shows 20 instant on the highway. For whatever reason it was indicating much better MPG on the test drive then after I got it. THAT IS WHY I FEEL CHEATED, THE BEFORE AND AFTER TEST DRIVE NUMBERS DO NOT MATCH, no matter how I drive i cannot get more than 20. I have no idea what it actually is as I have not filled up for the forst time yet, but if you take a prius for a test drive and it shows 70mpg with your driving style and you buy it, then cannnot get more than 55 mpg after yiu take it home, would you not feel cheated? same thing.
I know a jeep is a pig, had the display said 20 on the test drive all would have been well. It's like a woman being the perfect little lady, you marry her and turns into a *****. Thats what this jeep did. promised better mog one day then it could deliver in the days since.

How many of you guys get more than the EPA estimate? could you with a jeep? I'm sure you could, and why could I before and not now.
