Best fuel consumption for a 5.7 litre Hemi ever !

[Life4MoldeFK]

fuck small engines !

[redneckemothing]

240...?



[TTsites]

Should I abandon the 3.6L V6 VTEC and the open road for a 110 HP Rotax and the open air and open water ? Check out "Caribbean Sport Flight' on facebook.

[TTsites]

So the 6.1L V8 Hemi is gone, Down sized to a 'more green' 3.6L Flex fuel Laredo.

Need a new passion though so what do you think ?

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

I can do that trick in mine too. Reset to 0 and let it count up as you are granny driving it. If you drive it like a man, then you'll be getting 11.5.

[elhigh]

About 25.7 miles per gallon US. Not bad for a big car with lousy aero and a big engine.

[mitteey]

it is what you drive i baby my lincoln towncar around and it get 9.8 mpg

[authmaax]

we shitty humans...

to enjoy the sound of a engine we goes and rape countries for oil....

in europe an average well powered diesel engine 1.9 2.0 car is doing 4 ~ 6,5 L/100km

the middle class 1600 cc diesels could do 3 L/100Km if they do not make them weight 1.6 tones or more ... heavier than higher class versions

example is the hyunday i30 1.6 CRDI curb weight 1617 Kg

versus its higher class model i40sw 1.7 CRDi that is lighter 1540 kg

human is a really really stupid being

[madtownmadman]

@authmaax Speak for yourself.

[golf1diesel]

i wouldn't be proud of 9,4l on higwhay with 90 kmh..id get like 4l or less at that speed..but for your vehicle wait and engine is a good mpg anyway

[khronoGTA]

fucking americans, driving v8's in urban...

[TheThreeHundredHemi]

@khronoGTA : jealous haha :D

[khronoGTA]

@TheThreeHundredHemi Why should i be jealous? 9.5 liters in cruiser... what about urban then? 35l/100?

[TheThreeHundredHemi]

@khronoGTA : so you think many people buy a GC Hemi to drive most of their miles in the city ? :D

[khronoGTA]

@TheThreeHundredHemi Hell then why dont you buy another car like a Nissan X-trail? At least it has a decent consumption... and +150 hp, enough.

[TheThreeHundredHemi]

@khronoGTA : You're Italian, aren't you ? So you're in a good location to be aware of the fact that cars taste not the same when it comes to knowing where they're from. Italian cars have their typical taste, whereas British cars have their own, such as U.S. cars and so on... I personaly can't match the cold, almost absent taste of Japenese cars. That's why I'm "voting" America for SUVs, as well as I'd vote Italy for sportscars... See ?

[khronoGTA]

@TheThreeHundredHemi Nope, im Spanish. Nice, you've convinced me :) it was nice ^^. I also like american cars, but they still have the fact that their consumption is pretty high in my opinion :/

[MrFranque89]

автор едет в области разряженного воздуха за грузовиком, такой экперимент ставили в пиндоской программе разрушители мифов. как раз скорость 90км/ч.

[NutStretcher]

You drive 95km/h on the 400series highways????

[jkang119]

i was about to say "whooaa whoa whoa, dude you're goin 90 and that rig is stayin in front of you?"

and then i looked at the speedo and saw k/mh and i was like "oh..."

[jsachse1996]

im form america so i dont rly know liters per 100 metrs, so i translated it and its 24 mpg. just wanted to let people like me who dont get it know so thhey dont have to googleit like i did

[TTsites]

Started my journey in London (Ontario), the video was shot just short of the Quebec border as I had to leave Hwy 401 (around Lancaster, Ontario) to get gas soon. I was trying to get home on just one tank of gas !

[colt45pistolpete]

where the hell is this at?

[thatBMWkid]

This is a V8, not a V10. Where are people getting their information? Even if you truly thought it had a V10, listen to the sound! That's not what a V10 sounds like.

[mallow399]

I test drove a hemi ram once and had it at 8 .......then i bought one and ive never had it below 10 lol...3.92 gears dont help i guess haha. o well u dont buy a hemi for the mileage its the name and power!

[TTsites]

@mallow399 I'm currently driving the 2011 3.6L V6 Laredo and I'm dreaming of getting behind the wheel of the 2012 SRT8 ... if its anything like the special edition SRT8 580 hp 7.0 L V8 ... I'll be a very broke but happy guy (;-) ...  Will the 2012 SRT8 have a 6.5 L V8 Hemi ?

[mallow399]

@TTsites i honestly couldnt tell ya man ...never heard anything of a 6.5l but ive heard they wanna develop a 7.1 hemi ....that would have to be a weekend vehicle because the 5.7 is bad enough on gas im goin through 100$ a week in gas.

[adammdamann]

@TTsites a 6.4 but itll only be on sale for probly a year or two

[7477238]

This thing needs a 6 spd transmission and it would get even better fuel mileage. It's revving way too high for less than 100kph. Even on the Canadian 400 series highways you can consistently do 120 to 140kph so more gears helps.

[g20s10silveradoman]

Chrysler has always lied about their fuel consumption plain and simple

[E5Ridez]

reeving kinda hi for around 90 kph, and 110 im at about 1900 rpm in my 03 overland with the 4.7 ho

[beno7398]

No wonder you were driving good, Look at your fuel level.

I think that is good consumption, since I get 8.4L/100km on the highway in my 4 cylinder Jeep.

I need to trade it for the Hemi.

[noobtonthe3rd]

@beno7398 lmao try 6-8l highway/town for a 4500lb caddy with a v8 and 400 hp. I must figure out why jeeps are such gas abusers

[mallow399]

lol tailing a big rig and proly in cruise still good tho... ive had my hemi ram down to 8.5 but ths goin 80km an hour on a flat road. usually i sit at about 12 per 100km

[hunterhalo2]

My 4.0L Landrover gets 13mpg.

[dicap456]

haha everyone in europe is baffled by these large displacement engines saying they are useless. having a higher displacement engine usually allows for a larger torque curve. torque is important not only for towing but if you are on a road course, when you are exiting a turn you want to be smack in the middle of your torque curve. smaller displacement engines simply cant offer the large torque curves that the 5.7 can. however, if were talking just 0-60 times most of that doesnt matter..

[josh1303]

How did you manage to get 24 mpg lol

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

Don't people realize the 5.7 HEMI is a Multi-Displacement System (MDS)? Steady highway driving turns a V8 into a 4 banger. I get 10.1 L/100kms on my 4.7 V8 and thats with the 5 spd Auto and with gobs of power on tap without MDS. So now you have 335 hp with the economy of a small 6 cylinder at 9.4 L highway. I think that is great!

[fdiioia]

i get 19.6 on my 07 grand cherokee

[throughlou]

oo 16mpg great awesome, saving the planet one mile at a time! :P my old 306 diesel never does less than 40mpg even when pushing it on the motorway

[mallow399]

my hemi ram at 100km/h is usually like 14 litres/100km and 1 6.5 on the city.

[stalkerpro1]

what is the point of buying 5.7 Jeep and then try to save fuel on it?

[tremer88]

worst music

[richardmaudsley77]

@moneyshop16

100mph is NOT FAST. Duesenberg were going 150mph in 1932. 20mpg is NOT GOOD MILAGE. 20mpg is worse than the beetle, a car with 1938 engine technology. Also stop trying to claim the americans are at fault for our fuel prices, 95p of the cost of a litre us UK tax. Plus BP and Shell Oil are british.

Any more horseshit you'd like to say?

[moneyshop16]

my honda can do over 100 miles per hour on the highway and still get over 20 mpg... these big engines are unnessesary... thanks america for wasting fuel and making other country pay like $11 a gallon while you are paying under $3 a gallon. VERY selfish....

[honda300exwannarun]

@moneyshop16 we sure are, im glad your little rice burner gets 20 mpgs

[moneyshop16]

@honda300exwannarun .... Yo fuckface my so called Rice burner gets better gas mileage and will do 0-60 faster than this heavy soccer mum SUV and every morning i wake up i know it wont break down on me. Fucking American cars are full of shit, unreliable, ugly, bad interior quality and gas guzzler with big engines with not much power... Go fuck urself and dont talk shit about hondas

[richardmaudsley77]

@moneyshop16

You own a honda civic. Stop trying to brag, seriously. It's only a slightly better car than the likes of chavmobile Corsa Bs, and only because it's probably less knackered.

[honda300exwannarun]

@moneyshop16 Hey fuckface since when did i talk shit about your fucking honda. Look at my fucking name i drive a honda 300ex. Lets see the damage difference though when a semi hits a honda civic or a ford mustang. Im sure the civic will be scattered all over the road and the chance of living is much less than it would be in a bigger car thats full of shit, unreliable, ugly, bad interior quality and gas guzzler with big engines and not much power.

[honda300exwannarun]

@moneyshop16 Sorry, u cant afford anything more than a honda.

[xxBlackpspxx]

lol the fuel meter was already at E xD

[beno7398]

I'd be driving fuel efficiently too if my fuel level was as low as yours.

I'm impressed with that ave fuel reading anyway.

[0l0Dom0l0]

actually, the towing capicity would be far greater but its because the car is not designed for towing. the engine could pull 3500kg easily. even at 35mpg its still over double what this is getting and the engine has almost identical/better figures., and trust me 45mpg is achievealbe. if you read back to my origional comment i was saying it was un nessescary to have a 5.7l v8 getting 16.5mpg, when simularcharacteristics could be achieved by a good diesel engine that wouldnt need to be over 3l.

[jeep4jeep]

@0l0Dom0l0

The original comment about the 5.7 not necessary - its a matter of personal choice.

As for the BMW towing more that 3500kg, Not according to BMW, 1600 max.

Jeep 3500.

Honestly my personal choice of the Jeep is the CRD 3.0 - as it is more efficient, and the only reason for the 5.7 v8 is engine note and snob value. simple as.

Unless you were to find urself in the USA at $3 a GALLON!! Thats about £1.80 a Gallon in our money.

[0l0Dom0l0]

trust me, the engine could pull 3500kg, its the bmw frame that can't :). my point was that we get taxed like shit on a car with anything more than a 1l engine, and fuel costs us about 3 times as much. i have a 50cc motorbike, and that costs me over £10 a week on fuel doing 80 to the gallon. which is the equivalent of around £3 a week in america. it also makes me lauf how they have banned 2 strokes because they are 'bad for the enviornment'. please explain that one lol :)?

[honda300exwannarun]

@0l0Dom0l0 did they ban it in america to??? cause i have a 2 stroke 50cc to and a two stroke artic cat 600cc triple...

[0l0Dom0l0]

oh sorry i forgot to mention, it has 25% less cylinders. people should be embarrased. my strimmmer has more hp to litre than this thing. i swear.

[bessniak]

nice man ! i love jeeps during this driving were you with 8 cylinders or 4 cylinders ? regards ...

[SakoTGrimes]

A European driving an American POS listening to American garbage "music".... so sad. Btw, I'm American.

[jeep4jeep]

@SakoTGrimes

Rianna was very popular over here, nothing to do with American Music!!!??

Also, nothing wrong with Jeeps, what you go for?? Jap Crap (so called american built toyotas?) It will put your car business in ruins.

[mijobrjo]

you just can't tow a boat with a vw tdi , maybe just a LAWNMOWER LOL

[AWDSRT8Jeep]

i uh like the cheesy fast and furious saying at the beginning. btw. i just bought a2006 srt8. love it. jeeps rule. i dont know what i get in all this liter talk but i get like 17 mpg hwy.

[snattysnattysnatty]

american idiots .. buy a volkswagen TDI !!! 3- 4 Litres / 100 km ... with this engines you got a lot of torque ...

[jeep4jeep]

@snattysnattysnatty

VW or Audi over in the UK and Europe are notorious for head gaskets blowing!!! No Thanks !!!

[kialover100]

WHAT THE FUCKKK IS THAT!!!!!!OMG........kia cars are the best cars in fuel consumption

[jeep4jeep]

@kialover100

KIA are built with absolutely no imagination, and their factories are not kind to the environment!! thats why they're cheap compared to British, European or American built vehicles, they pollute like you've never seen!

See how many old Kia's are on the road..... virtually zero.... why....because they're only any good new!!!

[CJayceeP]

This is neat but who wants to drive 92km/hr on the highway? lol. I'm contemplating getting an '06 limited with the 4.7L. I figure if I keep it to 110km/hr on the highway my fuel economy should be decent.

[SPTSuperSprinter156]

My god, all these comments and not one insult or 'fag' comment for the song that was playing. I'm impressed.

[photographlife93]

my dad got his going about a 100 mph with a 4 wheeler trailer behind him carrying two quads got about 8 mpg

[pcmr57]

When was the RESET button last pushed before taking this video?

I had a 2005 Grand Cherokee V8 and if I reset the computer doing 90 km/h it would say 9.5 l/100km but once I sped up to about 110-120, where most people drive, it would jump to about 11.5l/100km. That was also optimistic. If I did the actual math it was more like 12.5-13l/100km. Sometimes worse.

Pretty pathetic for a 2005 vehicle.

[TTsites]

Great observation ! ... I drove from Montreal to London (Ontario) - 701 km each way - and back each week for about 13 months. I didn't reset the button during this trip as I was trying to get the best fuel consumption. I did experience what you described on other occasions though.

[mallow399]

@pcmr57 wind resistance doubles with every 20km/h increase so obv you ll need more fuel

[0l0Dom0l0]

16.5 mpg, thats nothing to brag about, its fucking ridiculous, stupid fat off pointless jeeps they use in america killing the plannet, probally only makes about 200hp. get a real car with a realy engine. us europeians make proper engines, i can never understand where the 100's of bhp (yes 100's) is lost, or how you can tune a big engine to produce so little power like the americans do. my garden strimmmer has a better hp per litre rating than this heap of crap.

[TTsites]

You have a point but in the middle of the Canadian winter when there's 36 cm of snow on the highway, a lot of those 'real' cars you refer to were spotted stuck in snow banks off of the 401. I managed ok with my jeep even when I went off of the road in a blinding snow storm ... didn't need to be towed out of the ditch (:-)

[0l0Dom0l0]

yea thats a fair point too. although i still think there is nothing wrong with a 2.5l turbo diesel or something simular. my point is its really unessecary to have a 5.7, and it frustrates me that over in england we get peenalised really hard if we have anything over about 1.5l engine that does 45mpg. just my opinion though :)

[gogreen1919]

@TTsites word!

[tiggod73]

That is true. What amazes me is that this "European" designed Jeep gets the worst economy ever. It does produce 350 horsepower. The only thingI dislike about mine is all the parts are written in German! I must say the SRT Cherokee does smoke the Ferrari wich consumes much more fuel and carries not even half the cargo! If you dont care for our useless Jeeps, I suggest you buy a Niva or maybe a Suzuki Sidekick. By the way, what is the HP to Fuel economy ratio of a Range Rover? I Rest my case.

[0l0Dom0l0]

i still dont think 350hp is anything to be proud of from a 5.7l engine. thats a 61hp per litre, should be nearer double that if you ask me. thats why the economy is so bad, simply because its just wasting fuel. 350hp is no big deal with modern technology and could easily be achieved by a 3.5litre turbo diesel engine, which would achive maybe 25mpg, still not brilliant but seeing as the americans insist of have shitty fuel economy its defo an improvement

[amazing1957]

Not to but in on your conversation, but 350hp is pretty decent for a 5.7l engine. Most 5.7l's older than this (and even some that are new) make around 295hp. They're mostly designed for torque output, hence being in Jeeps (which cater to a torque-demanding driving style).

[0l0Dom0l0]

i know but still, 5.7l should product atleast 500bhp, with simular torque if not more if tuned right. 295bhp is shit for any engine about 3l. simple as that

[amazing1957]

well thats what you think it should be, not what it is. lol

[KTMcaptain]

dude... a 8 liter motor will make 500hp at 5000rpm theoretically. HP = (eng torque X rpm) / 5252.

these 100bhp per liter ferrari's aren't more efficient, they REV higher, and thus can do MORE WORK.

this motor is designed for low rpm performance which the higher torque to hp rating is a dead give away.

running at higher rpm is less efficient, which is why a 505hp 7.0L vette gets over 20mpg while a 500hp 5.0L BMW gets like 13 or 14.

don't talk about what you don't know

[doug1bite]

No, a corvette gets better mpg's because its lighter. Plus the overdrive gear of the corvette probably higher. Weight has more of an affect on mpg's than engine size, though both are the most influential.

[KTMcaptain]

higher rpm means the motor can do more work with its torque... if the motor was tuned bad, it would have low torque.

higher rpm doesn't increase wear in a linear rate, rather a exponential, so run your high hp/per liter car and it will die fast.

diesels last so long because they hardly use any rpm, even though they are pushing the redlines farther and farther these days.

your just an ignorant european who has no concept of how vehicles work, and will be towed out of the snow by a jeep

[0l0Dom0l0]

wrong. how efficient an engine burns has a direct relation to how much torque and hp it produces. you dont have to have a high revving engine to produce lots of power. but your argueing that a 5.7 litre is nesecary? i think your wrong there. why do you need 5.7l? you dont. the fact that a 3.0l diesel makes more power and torque than this shows that something is wrong...

[KTMcaptain]

your an idiot and this proves it... diesel motors run on lower rpm which means less frictional loss. they also run at higher efficiency than gas motors, and there fuel has more thermal energy.

thats why diesel motors have so much torque. a 3.0L naturally aspirated diesel would get its butt kicked by a 5.7L.

torque is efficiency, and rpm is work... the higher you can keep the torque in rpm, means more hp because the motor can apply the torque more times in a given period

your an idiot. shut up

[KTMcaptain]

engine HP is equal to ( = ) engine torque times ( X ) RPM. then divided by 5252.

HP is a mathematical equation for work being done on a motor.

torque is how strong the motor is at an rpm

rpm is how often the motor can use it's power

torque per liter shows efficiency, not HP

if what your saying is correct, then ferrari would have a 600hp/600 ft/lbs motor that's 6 liters. but there 599 GTB is 620hp and 450 lbs/ft of torque.

the higher hp than torque comes from higher rpm

[0l0Dom0l0]

but all this is totally irrelevant, all im saying is, whats the point in having a 5.7l engine when you dont need to? what i am saying is a correctly tuned smaller engine could match the performance and torque produced here.

[KTMcaptain]

the point is that it can tow, have good HP, and is lighter weight and can handle better, and perform better offroad.

diesel motors usually don't have much HP, are much heavier.

you can't tune a small gas motor, to put out the same torque as a larger gas motor. torque is how much fuel the motor can burn, and how efficiently it burns it.

but by increasing the rpm, a small engine can put out the same HP or amount of work as a larger displacement. but that would hurt towing and hill climbing.

[0l0Dom0l0]

look mate, get it in your head 5.7L ISNT NECESSARY. simple as that.

[jeep4jeep]

@0l0Dom0l0

What you think it should have then?? 2 litre? Revving up to 4000 or 5000 rmp just to pull away from the light faster than a snail.... and look at the RPM, 75mph. Small car would be 4000-4500 - Jeep 2200 rpm.

It weights 2.3 tonnes also! EXAMPLE BRAND NEW FORD FOCUS, 450 MILE ROUND TRIP 1.6 LTR MANUAL 36.5 MPG. MERCEDES C'CLASS 140,000 MILES ON CLOCK 3.2 LTR AUTO,SAME TRIP DRIVEN FASTER AND HARDER 36MPG. MERC BIGGER & HEAVIER!

SAME RUN DONE WEEK IN WEEK OUT IN THE TWO CARS.

[0l0Dom0l0]

seriously. shut up. my dads car, 3 litre twin turbo, more hp than this, more tourque than this. 0-60 faster than this, weight almost identical, fuel consumption 45mpg. at 90 mph it does 2000 rpm. so really you have no idea what your talking about.

[jeep4jeep]

@0l0Dom0l0

45mpg?? 2000rpm at 90!!! dream on...

and who the FUCK are you to tell anybody to shut up (_!_) ....

ALL I WAS DOING WAS POINTING OUT FACTS ON MY OWN EXPERIENCE....

* IGNORANT BASTARD!!!!

[jeep4jeep]

And do please tell how your dad works out his MPG?? brim to brim??

[0l0Dom0l0]

he measures it in exactly the same way this guy does, the onboard computer you tramp. and yea, 45 mpg, 270bhp, almost 600nm of tourque, 45mpg if dirven right, 2000rpm at 90 mph. im simply expressing my opionion to.

[jeep4jeep]

@0l0Dom0l0

Toyota what exactly? how old? Petrol or Diesel?

FUCK FACE, YOU STARTED WITH THE INSULTS! (_!_)

[0l0Dom0l0]

toyota, what plannet are you on? diesel. 5 years old. no i didnt, have i sworn at you? no i havent so just be quiet and just admit this car is completly pointless, along with the engine.

[jeep4jeep]

@0l0Dom0l0

Toyota what???? What model (what planet you on)

[0l0Dom0l0]

its not a toyota?. bmw 535d.

[jeep4jeep]

@0l0Dom0l0

If you're going to make comparisons, make genuine ones... 4wd to a road car, petrol to diesel.... towing capacity on bmw 535d is 1600kg jeep 3500kg....

Make a like for like comparison....

Thats like me pointing out the ACTUAL 35mpg the DIESEL bmw gets is dreadful compared to a DIESEL MINI or DIESEL CORSA....where they get 50-70mpg.

[arnoldii2]

that's 90 KILOMETERS PER HOUR not mph. That's about 55mph

[RT360ci]

@0l0Dom0l0 you must be a ricer

[honda300exwannarun]

@0l0Dom0l0 A 5.7 liter hemi in this jeep makes 330 horsepower and makes a 100 mph easily, and is quiet as hell when your in it it seems like its not even trying and grand cherokees go through snow like crazy when you have some bf goodrich all terrain t/as so shut your european ass up

( i agree with TTsites on this this truck makes good mileage for a 5.7 liter hemi)

[richardmaudsley77]

@0l0Dom0l0 390 bhp,407 lb-ft of torque.

Also, Engine cylinders generally make more HP/Litre when small, and more Torque/Litre when large. That's why supercars are usually V-10s, V12s, W16s, etc. Americans traditionally design engines with higher torque outputs that can sit at the same speed for hours. Look at the 426 HEMI, which pulls as hard in 4th as in 1st gear.

[Moparman58]

@0l0Dom0l0 fuck them shitty european engines, they suck dick and they only make like 100 hp. the new hemi makes 390 hp. all them piece of shit german cars here are really shitty. the only thing they know how to make is a diesel.

[RaguelAngelofBalance]

@0l0Dom0l0 Oh shut your trap! Yeesh!

[josh1303]

@0l0Dom0l0

Umm its in L per 100 km. This is a Canadian car. Its around 24 mpg. That is pretty good for a SUV with a HEMI.

[noobtonthe3rd]

@0l0Dom0l0 Nothing tough about European cars, but he had a good point 16mpg is really shity. My 4500lbs caddy gets 27mpg in town and 32 highway, and it needs a little more work to be running effiecently. It can tow 3 1/2 tons or 7000lbs and produces 400hp and I can't remember the torque, sorry, but it was above that. Jeeps are great cars but I dont know why they seem so terrible on gas.

[1ownjoo2]

@0l0Dom0l0

For one 16.5mpg is true for the 5.7 liter, however its alot more then 200hp lol, Its more like 345 HP lol. The 4.0 Straight 6 or the 3.7 V6 are around 200Hp and those get about 23 highway which is pretty good. Hybrid SUV's dont get much better on the highway BTW... Like the Ford Escape on the highway is actually around 27mpg. Not that great for a hybrid.. Hybrids are a trick TBH once you get above a certain speed the electric engine shuts off and your on gas again

[dergangedchipmunk]

@0l0Dom0l0 you fukin dunce the hemi makes 357 BHP, you know jack shit all about cars, ever heard of Big block V8's? you cant exactly call them underpowered your comment is also very hard to understand, and what the fuck is a HP per litre rating lol?

[69BuffDaddy]

@0l0Dom0l0

still a nice car to have sex in

[MrUnKnOwNM4]

@0l0Dom0l0 What about your fuckin XC90 europeen made ( sweden ) V8 who's doing 14l/km with super. What about the X5 V8 with 15-16l/km with super. Well, what about a cherokee, not the quality of those 2, but 30 000$ less, with ordinary fuel runnin 15-16 maybe 18 in winter yeah. Not the best but...

[1ownjoo2]

@0l0Dom0l0

HP HP HP HP.. You do know HP isnt everything right ? Some engines are tuned for torque not HP you idiot. My 5.9 Liter V8 has only 250HP but has 350lbs of torque. Thats alot of torque for a 30 year old engine. (yes the 5.9 isnt 30 years old in my Jeep but the engine was developed 30+ years ago). This 5.7 Hemi has around 350HP and 370lbs of torque in this video. That isnt low for a gasoline engine.

[1ownjoo2]

@0l0Dom0l0

Oh and next time make sure you spell Europeans correctly.. It just shows how stupid you really are. Id really like for you show me some of your SUV engines that can reach 390hp and 407lbs of torque and still get 14mpg in the city and 20 highway. I garuntee you, you wont be able to find anything comparable.

[creamyfilling102]

@0l0Dom0l0 if i'm not mistaken, the hemi is good for over 300 horsepower. it varies from whatever vehicle it's placed in (jeep, dodge pickup, charger challenger ect) but it's not a complete waste. the new dodge ram gets almost 400 hp.

[angusandleigh]

@0l0Dom0l0 where do you get 16mpg? 9.5L/100km roughly translates to around 24mpg ..for arguments sake, the 2011 Land Rover LR4 has a similar sized engine, rated for similar hp, and lb-ft, but only is rated for 17mpg highway, or around 13L/100km a 2011 BMW X5 has a less powerful engine (same size as the LR, and has a bit more mpg than the Jeep, but offroad? I don't know. Oh the HEMI is 370-390hp, and 375-407ft-ls of torque, so learn how to spell and read some before looking stupid.

Nice truck - but yer you have to be careful when leasing.... You dont wanna go over the mileage limits!

[TTsites]

Went over by 38,000 Km (:-(

[jetary]

What is the mileage when you are driving at the normal highway speed like 110-120km/hr.

Driving 90 behind a tanker truck is one way to push the numbers higher.

[TTsites]

At 119 kph I'd get it to about 12 L per 100 Km

[TTsites]

Chrysler took back my Jeep (:-(

now I'm renting ... Suzuki Swift first month, Kia Rio this month ... still filling up every four days but only $35 to fill the tank as opposed to $55 ... the little high revving engines are reallly bad on the highway when it comes to fuel consumption !

[Teboner92]

whyd they take your jeep? lease?

[TTsites]

The wanted me to pay 6 months in advance for an extension when they heard I was 38,000 km over the limit. Gets better ... they charged me $8,350 after it was returned ... excess Kms and repairs for wear and tear ... that was my third Grand Cherokee limited edition and my last ever Chrysler vehicle ... now back with the V8s but this time a Buick Lucern ... couldn't take the Kia Rio or the Suzki Swift anymore. The Lucern is a hybrid so it ain't that bad

[Teboner92]

ooo thats stupid. but the lucerne is a awesome car. Is it the northstar v8? My girlfriends grandfather just bought a new lucerne super with the northstar v8 and i got to drive it before her...haha. that car hauls.

[TTsites]

Yeap its the V8 but I was surprised that I could get to 160kph when I floored the Jeep at the bottom of an on Ramp to the elevated highway in a city that shall remain nameless (;-) and kept accelerating until the merge ... but got only to 140 kph in the Lucern on the same stretch ...

[greeksta111]

yea, i did have good distance, but traffic was slowing, thats why i cut my video short! but yea i do normally keep good distance.

[greeksta111]

you gave me a great idea and i went and tried this on my grand cherokee laredo...i have a 3.7 L and i got anywhere from 22-24 miles per gallon.

[TTsites]

Please be very very careful when closely following large vehicles ... as your view is obstructed and they cannot see you in their mirrors. Please also be aware that in some States, following too closely may actually be a violation of the Highway safety Code ... You'll still see significant savings some 4 car lengths behind a large vehicle and anything closer than one car length is just plain dangerous ! ... Happy mortoring (:-)

[FUCK202]

they say this engine shuts down 4 cylinders when cruising. does this make a difference so you can get for example 35 mpg out of it like you would in a 2.0 4 cyl or would it just be an improvment of like 5-10mpg?

[marko7396]

I love the Jeep, but hate the fuel consumption, Have been driving for 23 years now, former car nut owning performance v-8's in the past but the jeep saved me during a diedel slick on the road when I went around a corner and it the computers in it gavew me stability. Found later that a tow truck driver was placing oil on a roundabout looking for more work. He is now gone so more faith to the industry. Alot of accidents there into a steel barrier guard

[TTsites]

Wow ! ... I hope he's serving time for attempting to cause grevious bodily harm.

I went off of the road and down a 45 degree embankment last winter at after loosing control at about 100 km/hr during a snow storm. The vehicle didn't roll and I was able to drive out of the ditch without assistance. Two weeks ago I lost my left front wheel after one of the studs failed. The vehicle remained stable up until I got down to about 20 Km/hr. I too love my Jeep, it did 91,000 km last year !

[marko7396]

I think the truck is really a diesel. Thats diesel figures. Mine does 11-14 around down on 98 and i treat the pedal kindly.

[TTsites]

Hi, It's the 5.7 Litre Hemi (Gasoline) ... the trick is to SAFELY draft behind large vehicles (up to 4 car lengths behind) and to keep your RPM below 2000 ... Check out the response video above (:-)

[rangerover06sc]

i don't don't think epa tested it while drfting behind!!

[iainthornton]

so that's about 30mpg?

[rangerover06sc]

its probably about 23mpg,our expedition sometimes would say that it was 100liters /100km so i wouldn't be depending on everything they say!

[iainthornton]

yeah just done the sums....my calculations were based on a British gallon which would make it 30mpg or so

[rangerover06sc]

nvm i was calulatiing jeeps preditied gas milage,not what he was he was getting,your right.

[iainthornton]

haha I'm going to upload a photo from the trip computer on my father's Range Rover Supercharged.....me and a few friends were on a roadtrip so we were ragging it and getting between 8 and 9mpg and we crested a hill and coasted down it...the computer said 90mpg...no joke!

my mate kept taking photos because we never knew when I'd have to accelerate exactly but it peaked over 90 and the highest photo we got was 88.2mpg...which I can show you!

[D41H4T5U]

Bit of streamlining from the truck in front, nice! My car uses 3.43 L/100KM or 82.2 MPG, not bad eh? New Ford Fiesta offers similar economy but not sure it will be sold your side of the big pond.

[bsegbkpf]

With a Ford Focus you can drive much much faster with less fuel.

What for you need all this power if you just need to slow down?

[TTsites]

Totally understand and agree but I drive 1500 km per week between Montreal and London (Ontario) mostly at night and during the winter. Last year i saw numerous small vehicles abandoned in snow banks. I went off the road only once during a severe snow storm and was able to drive out of a ditch with a 45 degree bank ... its just a matter of safety. We're expecting 55 cm of snow today and I won't have to worry about getting to work (:-)

[TJonStudios]

10mpg? u dont back off the pedal eh?

[TJonStudios]

yeah but 10mpg is really low, i can get 18 at 70mph, 5.7l hemi
