jeep5.9litre Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Just filled the 2.5 GT up for the first time and worked the mileage out and it came to about 22.3 MPG mostly city driving with a little highway here and there..is this a normal figure or should I be getting more miles? I will tell you guys one thing...what a breath of fresh air from filling my 5.9 V8 Grand Cherokee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outback_97 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 That's pretty normal. Our 2.5's get around 21 in all city driving and go up from there as you add hwy miles. Straight highway / freeway is usually 29 or so and the best ever tank was 33. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuBrat84 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 With winter gas I got 23mpg from Tucson to Portland... Summer gas I get about 22-25 City and about 27-28 highway... Sometimes a bit less cuz I'm a speed demon! It's hard to do IMO but you'd get good gas mileage keeping your RPMS between 1500 and 3500 ... *putt putt putt putt* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeep5.9litre Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 yeah i usually try to keep my rpm's inm that range...its a force of habit cause id never let the rpm's in the jeep go above 2000 in city driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickensheets Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Just did Houston Austin Houston and got 26.5mpg in the 97 OBW. Avg speed was 70mph w/auto tranny. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinsUBARU Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I've been getting 25-26 mixed and 29 hwy with an 01 Legacy L wagon and I am very happy with that. I just filled up yesterday and I am trying to stick with the factory shift speeds as per the owners manual...I wonder if it will make a difference at all :-\ Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
later, Peter Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 the 96 OBW gets around 23 - 27 (hwy) has more pick up/power then the 99 OBW which gets 25/26 in town & over 30 on a nice highway ride (especially if my wife is driving).

syphon Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 My '98 Legacy GT (it has the 2.5, but it's not turbo) gets 21.5mpg on my daily commute (which I'd say is about 25% freeway, 75% city driving) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unibrook Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 2001 Forester L 2.5 no turbo. I keep tires filled to 40 lbs and I am getting 25 mixed city/hwy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
