Andrew,
Mileage, popular topic around here! Search the archives for a complete
list of everyone and thier brothers mileage figures!!
I get 16-17 with my 95 CC 3.9L....it's an automatic but of course it's a
4X4.
I don't think you'll see 25 mpg unless you're coasting downhill with a
tailwind!!
Check the dealer for a new airdam....if I remember correctly my
father-in-law got a new one for something like $20! Not sure where it came
from, I assume the dealer.......
Mark in Kentucky
95 CC 4X4 3.9L
