    Bought 2003 Ltd V8 new and now have 55,000 miles on it. I get 16mpg/twn and 19 mpg/hwy consistently. I am smooth on the vehicle in town coasting to stops and sometimes coasting on hills (Colorado). I use the lowest octane available since using higher makes no difference. If I do the speed limit (75) on Interstates, the mileage drops to 17 mpg. I try never to drive it over 2000 rpms which is about 62mph. Yep, other drivers hate me, but I don't care. The vehicle is great and has never been in the shop. I do my own oil changes and inspections while on the lift (Peterson AFB auto shop). I run Goodyear Wranglers (17in). I will keep this one for a very long time and I don't mind the truck ride because it doubles as my truck. I had a Grand Cherokee before this and will never buy another Chrysler product. Thanks Toyota and Merry Christmas to all. JG1

    After the first 600 mi. I'm averaging 20.0 mpg with about 70% city driving w/ AC on. That's outstanding. Can't wait to see what happens when it's broken in.

    Yes, I've noticed gas consumption increases rather dramatically going from 69 mph to 75 mph on our T4R V6.
