2014 Jeep Cherokee fuel economy
You’re going to get the best 2014 Jeep Cherokee mileage in a front-wheel drive model with the standard 2.4-liter 184 horsepower inline-4 engine. This drivetrain/powertrain combo is capable of an EPA-estimated 30 MPG on the highway. This improves upon the 2013 Cherokee’s fuel economy by a whopping 45%.
City fuel economy isn’t quite as impressive at an estimated 21 MPG, but this still comes to a respectable 25 MPG combined.
Models equipped with either the 3.2-liter V6 engine or a four-wheel-drive system also have lower fuel economy. At the worst end is the 4WD
Trailhawk
V6 with 18/25/20 MPG city/highway/combined.There are two four-wheel drive systems in Jeeps: a lighter-duty Active Drive I and a heavy-duty Active Drive II. The latter comes standard in Trailhawk models. Cherokees with Active Drive I will have better mileage than those with Active Drive II—but the difference is only so much as 1 MPG.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee gas tank size measures 15.8 gallons on all trims. Fortunately, you don’t need to purchase premium fuel—octane 87 will do just fine. This can save you some money at the station.
Still, the Jeep Cherokee tends to be less fuel-efficient than other small SUVs in its class, especially its V6 and/or 4WD models.

Is the 2014 Jeep Cherokee good on gas?
If you’re looking to save big bucks on fuel, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee may not be your best bet. Though its V6 powertrain helps top out the class with a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 lbs, it’s not much of a fuel sipper—it wasn’t designed to be!
You’ll get better Jeep Cherokee MPG ratings with the standard four-cylinder engine and front-wheel-drive configuration of lower trims. But the comparable 2014
Mazda CX-5
still easily beats the Cherokee’s best fuel efficiency (especially in the city), with 26/35/28 MPG city/highway/combined.That said, you probably won't best the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk V6 in terms of off-road capability. So if you’re shooting for a used compact off-roader with decent mileage for its power, the 2014 Cherokee could be an excellent choice.

- Usecruise controlto your advantage. Avoiding harsh acceleration as much as possible can help lower your gas usage. If your model has adaptive cruise control, releasing the gas pedal on the highway is even easier.
- Don’t idle. It goes without saying, but burning your fuel to warm up the cabin is a great way to waste gas. Winter mornings can be tough, but if you’re able to rough a cold drive you’ll save some more of that fuel for, well, driving.

- Keep aregular maintenance routine. Skipping out on your maintenance can allow dangerous buildups to occur in your fuel system. This will cost you more on gas and in potential repairs.
