We had a "91 Cherokee with the 4.0 with a 5 speed manual and LOVED it. Always got 22+mpg. It finally started to show its age and so we bought a new 2004 Grand Cherokee with the V8. It has power and comfort, but 15 mpg around town and got a best of 20 mpg on a trip to Vegas. The carpeting is shoddy compared to the old Jeep and the stereo has a short in it sometimes when it plays CD"s. The dealer could never find it so we live with it. The original tires are still on it with 41,000 miles, but they are pretty aggresive, so road noise is pretty noticable. That trip to Vegas was late August and 115 degrees.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
