Jeep Cherokee Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr SUV 271-horsepower 3.2L V6 9-speed shiftable automatic AWD	For being a vehicle that weighs over 4,000 pounds it is hard to complain about the as mileage. I do mostly highway driving or driving on back roads with 45-55 MPH speed limits. When I drive aggressively I get approximately 25-26 MPG. Under my normal driving conditons I have calculated just shy of 30 MPG. This is without the vehicle being entirely broken in yet, so the mileage may even still increase over the next few months. Sport mode will decrease the mileage, as it changes the shift points and holds lower gears longer. More fun at the expense of more gas used. No real suprise there. If you do a lot of city driving and are worried about gas then I do not recommend the Cherokee. With first and second gear being so tall, this thing uses a lot of gas in stop and go driving. Any decent amount of highway driving balances this out though. see full Jeep Cherokee review

2017	4dr SUV 184-horsepower 2.4L I4 9-speed shiftable automatic FWD	There are better cars out there if fuel economy is important to you. Cherokee for sure is not top of the class here. see full Jeep Cherokee review
2014	4dr SUV 271-horsepower 3.2L V6 9-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range	The 3.2 V6 doesn't boast the best fuel economy for a vehicle that is relatively light and very aerodynamic. see full Jeep Cherokee review

Toyota FJ Cruiser Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr SUV 260-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	I average 11.5l/100 km almost all the time, about two thirds distance on highway. Uses more petrol than a small car, but reasonable. My previous Audi A3 2.0T could run in circles around an FJ, but it couldn't take me on dirt roads etc. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review

2008	4dr SUV 239-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	Any vehicle in this class is by no means a fuel sipper, the FJ averaged between 15 and 19 mpg. In 4wd during winter snowstorms it got about 13mpg. Not bad compared to some, but I grew to dislike this. see full Toyota FJ Cruiser review
