Grand Cherokee 5.7 MDS mileage

[HOBrian]

I am looking for a new suv for the wife and was wondering if any of you have a GC with the Hemi. What kind of mileage are you getting? The sticker says 19 but I think the guy who came up with that was smoking something, and it wasn't tobacco :-laf Her car now is a POS Passat. That car is in the shop every 3-6 months with a repair bill of 1,00 to 3,000 dollars. It is covered under the warr. but that is up in Feb. so I want to get something before I start paying for the POS.



Thanks in advance for any and all help Oo.

We get 11 to 14 in town and about 18 to 19 on the highway. My wife is happy with hers and that thing hauls butt.

Wife's boss just bought an 06' Durango with the 5. 7 & MDS. He averages 11mpg. Also, he hates the 4cyl option. Originally installed a new exhaust which sounded great with 8cyl. When running on 4cyl the new exhaust sounded bad.
