the kk's get better mileage then hte kj's
dont forget (as i always remind folks on the topic of MPG) for 2008 the epa changed MPG standards! a 2007 kj under these new standards is rated at 15/19 or 15/20, so yep! a kk gets better mileage

Thank you toy. Thats kinda what I had in mind, when I saw 16 to 21 on the sticker at the dealer. And that is about what the last Libbys were getting with the 3.7. |

City Mileage estimates are the same for 4wd 15 (auto) 16 (manual) Highway Mileage differs by 1 auto (20 vs 21) and 2 manual (20 vs 22) Don't the KKs come with a taller rear end?...that would explain the mileage difference Highway. The "engine retune" might have helped just a bit. Also the KK is also more aero although it doesn't look it...Cd 420 KJ vs ~Cd 410 KK. |

Need a couple of ya' over at GasSavers.org . Make sure if you go you start a "Garage" and track your mileage. The cool part is that you input the EPA ratings and it keeps track of your % better or worse than EPA Combined. You can also upload pics into the garage area! Come on a couple of ya'...we have two CRDs over there so far. |

I wish a few of you would join GasSavers.com and open a "Garage Section". They have a nic e way to track your mpg and gives you the % above or below new EPA Ratings. It also will show you that to get real world mpg figures, you need to track it over a few tank fulls. Here is what mine looks like: http://www.gassavers.org/garage/view/947 |

Here is what mine looks like: http://www.gassavers.org/garage/view/947 I've been tracking the Fuel usage in my 98 Dodge Ram Turbo-Diesel for (2) years now. Averaging 19.78 MPG. Not bad for a 7500lb 4x4! |

Are you correcting you speedo/odometer #s for the tire height difference (if any) ? |
