I know my tank size (19 gal), but I have the gas gauge (lower right) and then I have range readouts. The range will will change based on the MPGe. When road tripping, I know I will get well over 400 miles on a 3/4 of a tank of gas. I have driven 440 miles, mostly all highways, and at a 1/4 tank left, it has told me I…
Maybe it would work in my 4XE if was flex fuel capable and had new engine tune as the engine is a 4 cyl. turbo.
TBH, I am jonesing for a Class B van I can take out and do stuff with. The ones I want though are $$$. I am entered into a charity raffle that is giving away a StoryTeller Overland Beast Mode that ends this month. They are pretty nice and well put together. On the other hand, I watch this YT channel and they bought…
My old Jeep was flex fuel capable but I never ran E85 in it because it was a big hit on the mileage. It was 60% of the gas equivalent mileage.
In my Pontiac G8 and Chevy SS, it was in the trunk on the side. In my old Jeep, it was under the front seat. I am assuming it is in the same location with my new one, but haven’t checked.
I have a 4XE Grand Cherokee Overland and I love it. This time of year, my commute is 30 miles each way and I can do all of about 2 to 3 miles of it on battery with 3 miles left over going into work, then I have free charging here at work, the same back. Just under 3/4 of a tank of gas since I filled up 3 weeks ago.
No major regrets, but I traded in both my ‘14 Jeep GC and my ‘17 Chevy SS a year ago for a ‘22 Jeep GC 4XE. Kind of miss the SS at times, especially now that the weather is warm. But I wasn’t driving it much, ~3K miles a year. Luckily, the 4XE has a combined 385 hp or there about so it will motor. Been looking at a…
And allegations of sexual harrasment in the front office as well. Can’t forget those. That is what really forced the NFL to force him to sell the team.
The MyLink system in my old Chevy SS was not the greatest, especially against the UConnect system in my old Jeep which was 3 years older...
Just because it is sitting doesn’t mean that it is not running. Plus they were the fire crew at the ready incase something happened when they set the cutting explosives off. There is always stuff to do. Maybe trying to fix the issue that caused the power outage? Maybe making sure the ship can move when the get pulled…
Had one for a rental out in LA one time. It was a warrior from the road. All dented up and and when you got in the front seat, the center console wasn’t securely fastened totally to the floor, so it shifted around. Add the tin like feel to it all, was horrible.
Took my ‘14 Jeep Gran Cherokee into the dealer for some work and recalls. They usually gave me a Renegade for a loaner, but this day they gave me a Wrangler Sport with 23 miles on it for the loaner. I was kind of jazzed about it............................... then I drove it. It was like trying to follow a Phil Niekro…
I used to have one and I didn’t mind it around town. I had a TRD Pro version (bought used) but there were 2 things I hated about it. Was not great for long trips (walked like an old man after 8 hour drive) and I had to keep some sand bags in the back as the ass end would go 90 degrees in the wet just accelerating.…
People with more money than brains of course
A while back I was looking at video’s and reading about the Tesla Solar Roof and if it was any good or not. Seems like just getting the roof was a pain in the ass and would take months, reconfiguring things, price changes, same old shit with the cars and everything he touches.
Definitely was. They were renting space from an office complex that also had US Gov’t offices and a movie theater in it. It was one of the outer parking lot areas. Must have had about 150 vehicles out there.
Jeep 4xE’s, in electric mode, are pretty slow. ~9 sec from 0 to 60. In hybrid mode, they are just shy of 5 sec. In electric mode, it is generally fine for most off the line driving like around town and stuff. I do, turn it to hybrid if I am getting onto a faster speed road so I don’t pull out and turtle down the road…
I loathe wallpaper.
When I went to check out my old Pontiac G8 GT, we had to go to a satellite lot a couple miles away with a battery charger and then straight to a gas station before test drive. Well test drive was to the gas station and then to the dealer lot.
There is an F1 photographer that has a YT channel and he does a “What did the drivers drive to the track” after every race weekend. His rental was a Chevy Malibu and he said he liked it. At the end.
