Message:
a lot of things can affect mileage. especially they way you drive it. is this a QC, CC or RC? a QC 4x4 w/ a 3.9 is asking quite a bit for that engine. add anything else to that like, larger tires, not properly tuned, underinlated tires, etc. and you could expect 11 mpg. my '00 QC 4x2 5spd gets a combined city /hwy of 20mpg. 18 city and i've gotten up to 24 highway.
