Hey guys/gals I'm pretty silent on the boards, I usually use the search engine for information about the Jeep. I have the 2006 Limited 5.7l that I just purchased about 2-3 months ago and I'm really NOT that into it. The vehicle works for what it's supposed to. I'm a huge fan of the interior room and all of that stuff. I really didn't intend to keep this vehicle long, nor am I head over heels for it. The BIGGEST issue that I can't stand is the miles per gallon. I average about 10.9 - 11.9 city, my old 5.7l truck (with MDS) was getting 13-15 CITY. The tires are brand new, I threw some Michelin MTX A/T 2's on it recently. The car has about 61k miles, still smells like the previous owner (damn thing can't go away no matter what I do...)
My wife was being awesome and got me some roof-racks for Christmas. I'm not too sure if I should be angry because I'm still not absolutely head-over-heels for this car. Am I the only person having this issue? I'm thinking about putting a 1-2" lift on this thing to help me possibly like this car, but the MPG is so horrible - I want to kick a baby every week at the pump! (kidding). The only way where I might decide to keep this thing longer than 2-3 years is that if I had some real projectors put on this thing. Does the ecochip from autoanything really help with 2-3 mpg at least? If it does, then I'll want make this thing look more like a Jeep.
I'm still not settle with this thing, what all things have you done to help you personalize your Commander to your liking?
