The "imaginary list of reasons" to get rid of my Jeep so soon, which has been an impelling force in the past with my rate of vehicle turnover, just has not manifested itself in any sort of clear and f

Sharp...love the color, would like to have a GC in that color. 

Thanks!  I thought it only natural to order it in "Army Green"!  First tank is ringing up at 27.5 MPG so far, but of course I will double check the DIC against actual mathematics when I fill it up.  Also, I am happy to be "rowing my own" again!

you've got all those old Suzuki the SeX4's slaughtered......those wouldn't often hit 30 mpg.......the automatics often didn't hit 25 mpg.

 

If for some insane reason I feel i need to drive stick ever again I will for sure take one of these out for a run.

I'm on my 3rd tankful since buying my GC March 31, almost 900 miles since then. I haven't paid too close attention to the mileage and range, but I'm definitely going longer between fillups than I did w/ the old 4.0.   Gas tank is six gallons larger IIRC (like 26 gallons)..

Many reports are saying Manuals will be gone in the next 2-3 years if not sooner. You might not be able to find a manual except in an old auto.

First longer road trip yesterday, 190 miles mostly highway, dash readout says 33.4.  Astonishing to me.  My expectations were tempered by this little bruiser, which gave me 19.5 MPG...  I am absolutely tickled to death with these mileage figures.  Turning over 1300 miles soon... already!

This tank, which was strictly a work commute with a bit of running around over the weekend:  380.6 miles, 11.833 gallons, for 32.164286 MPG.  Who can argue?  I can't.  :)

RECALL!  :o

Letter states FCA will repair my vehicle free of charge if I do not care to do it myself...

 

Recall consists of a new owner's manual with a corrected jump start procedure in the text...

Instructions:  "We ask that you locate the vehicle's original User's Guide and replace it with the enclosed Second Edition User's Guide".

"TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR CALL 1-800-853-1403 OR YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY"

 

Now, may I ask you, do I look like a Tesla driver who does not have the wherewithal to throw out my original owner's manual and place the new one in its sheath?  :roflmao:

But if you do it yourself, are you sure it will be done correctly?   Warranty work should always be done by trained, authorized dealers..;)
