    Thanks for the decipher of DD ...'Daily Driver' that's more than likely. My 3.7L 6cyl Loredo is rated at 15city and the 5.7L 8cyl rated at 13city.... not a big sacrifice in those numbers seems to me. People are telling me all the time I'm getting way more than 15mpg but they chill when I show them the numbers on the computer LOL.

    The computer is mostly a calculated "guess". Best to actually divide the miles by the amount of fuel used, to get an accurate number.

    Neither jeep is fuel efficient but they serve a purpose with tough suspensions and 4WD. 13/15 is all relative to things like daily commute, heavy foot and condition. The 5.7 might actually get better hwy mpg as it cruises at lower rpms than the somewhat underpowered 3.7 so it's a tossup.
