That mileage is low.Thier European Grand Cherokee gets much better highway and combined.
http://www.jeep.co.uk/jeep/versions.aspx?ID=465,18,108
City: 21.6 mpg
Highway: 32.8mpg
combined: 27.7 mpg
The engine looks like the same unit 215hp and 376ft/lbs . Wonder why the big difference in fuel economy.
Could the Euro jeep be geared different? but such a big mpg difference from different gearing
Could it be.....Humm a conspiracy....to appease the oil companys (me rubs chin,ponders deeply
)

What tranny is in the Euro model. I bet the usa version has that same 5 speed auto that is in the diesel Liberty. It has torque management issues.

Oil companies have nothing to do with it.

About the only thing bigger here in the UK than in America is the gallon.Our gallon is bigger than yours hence the better mileage.
A US gallon is 3.7 litres and the UK gallon is 4.546 litres.

That has to be the best way to improve mileage I have ever heard of 
If I added a fuel line magnet and 2 pills in the tank, I should easily be over 35mpg 
I almost forgot, I would love to have a diesel Grand Cherokee.

The engine looks like the exact smae one as the Euro one. Soo I take it its an ultra low sulphur diesel.
Is American ultra low sulphur diesel the same as Euro ultra low sulphur diesel?
PS What are the axles on the Grand Cherokee. Dana 30s?, 44s?
