Are Jeeps good on gas?

I have my heart set on a Jeep as my next car purchase, but I’m still weighing the pros and cons. I’ve heard that Jeeps can be gas guzzlers (an obvious con), and I’m hoping to buy a vehicle that gets decent fuel economy so my question is—are Jeeps good on gas?

I couldn’t agree more, Jeeps are so classic! Some Jeeps with larger engines like the

Grand Cherokee

Wrangler

have a less than stellar reputation for gas consumption. Luckily, Jeep offers more compact models in its lineup that can get an improved mileage rate than those of yesteryear.

Take the

Jeep Renegade

for instance. This most compact model gets about:

22 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city

30 mpg on the highway

The

Jeep Compass

is also a good choice if you’re looking for improved gas mileage, boasting:

23 mpg in the city

32 mpg on the highway

Regardless of what kind of vehicle you drive, you should feel good about how much you pay for
