First off, we here at Jerry offer our hearty congratulations on ditching the Southern California sunshine for the cold, brutal, and frankly unforgiving Maine winters (you know most people move the other way, right?)!
Anyways, to answer your question—according to Car & Driver Magazine, the Jeep Cherokee gets an estimated 25 miles per gallon on the highway, with a total highway range of 390 miles per tank of gas.
If you’re wondering what this means, Car & Driver rated the Cherokee as one of the least fuel-efficient compact crossover SUVs on the market. In testing, the Cherokee didn’t even meet the EPA’s estimated mark for fuel efficiency (that was 27 miles per gallon).
Getting 25 miles per gallon means you’ll have to fill up just over eight times on your 3,217-mile cross-country road trip. In comparison, the Honda CR-V gets 34 miles per gallon on the highway, meaning you’d only have to fill up about six and a half times.
Basically, what we’re saying is this—you could get a better bang for your fuel buck by swapping out your Cherokee for a more fuel-efficient SUV, such as the CR-V.
