I just rolled into Phoenix from Seattle. 1551 miles to see my mom for a month or so.

42.51 gallons. 36.48 MPG.

Gotta LOVE diesel!

Joe - you posted that here - just to harass the V6 guy's......


Allsports - if you check his sig - the CRD is Not the one with the best mileage nor is it the best offroad - it's just the in-between compromise.

Why all the hatred? Im just having fun with you guys. It's cool with me that you want to throw money away on your gasser at 15mpg!

Ill take my 340 ft pounds of torque every day of the week. Oh that and 700 miles on a tank of fuel.

LOL! :pepper: :ROTFL:

In the interest of full disclosure, did you fold the mirrors and how fast did you drive?

We're cool with our Rig getting 23 ish mpg!
Not too bad for a 3.7 litre V6.

Yes I folded in the mirrors and took off the antenna (XM). I drove 60mph for 15 hours a day. LOL. Long days.......

Not bad at all...hard to drive that patiently tho...but it can be done. Compared to 23mpg...36mpg is about .055 a mile cheaper than the V6. At 68mph I can get around 30mpg +/- 1 or 2.


***Someone posting a positive result should not be hounded like some did...that is why this forum was started back in 2002...so we KJ owners had a good place to post***
