Hello Ecomodders
Hi Ecomodders,
I created an account here and read alot and now I've decided to finally introduce myself. ha. Drive a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L I6, college student so eco-mods are limited in budget. No scan gauge yet, but plan to get one soon. |
Hi Josh - welcome to the forum. Plenty of Jeep drivers to keep you company.
You're on the right track thinking about instrumentation as a first step. If the ScanGauge is out of your budget, consider making yourself an MPGuino. Darin |

Welcome to the site. What kind of mileage do you normally get with the Jeep?

Thanks all,
As to MPG, with no eco mods and just the intake I was getting 17 avg, with up to 19 when mostly highway over a whole tank of gas. So not horrible to start with but I see some Jeeps getting 25 on here and I'm going to try to get part of the way there. And anyone know if my MPG will go up with a new exhaust by much or at all? same q to superheat the cc to clean it in the mean time? Edit: Also my commute to college includes 29.5 miles of highway and interstate so I will try some aeromods to get that up quick. |

Hello - a quick introduction
Hi Josh,
Like you I'm a new forumer. Facsinated by all the ideas. I am interested in this forum and the participants desire to save fuel. I'm a senior trim engineer in the auto industry and am very concerned at the lack of pace of change - especially fuel economy. My work requires me to drive 40000 miles a year and am forever designing a sleek economic vehicle to get to work. My latest thought is a modern version of the Renault GTA610 with a smaller engine. Does anyone recall a Ford concept vehicle with the small engine mounted at the rear? Guessing mid-90's? I can't find any record of it on the web. From memory it had a Cd of 0.21, which betters the Renault's 0.3 by a long ways, yet using the same philosophy. Keep up your mods and experiments. cheers Puggo |
