Read this - this is your post. You said the X3M is your daily driver. "Yeah! I'll give it a rest! Maybe he should have bought a 2020 BMW X3M Competition (my daily)"

Yes I get it. But your fumble was funnier to me.

Some of you guys come to this forum, with no intrest in buying a 392,
with your Boo-Hoo, about gas millage. While people that might build the 392, are looking for positive reactions to build it .

You may be onto something re: highway. Just looked it up...13/19 and 18/21 for the SRT Grand Cherokee and V6 Grand Cherokee. Only 2mpg difference on the highway. However, 5mpg difference on the city is considerable.

I think you made a typo or you looked at the average. On Jeep website It is 18/25 city/highway mpg for the V6 4WD Grand Cherokee. Even thought its only 5/6mpg, that is 33% more MPG or 25% less MPG depending on how you look at it.

You are correct. Then I go back to my original position that fuel economy with the 392 is going to take a massive hit. If the SRT GC gets 15 combined, I'm guessing the Wrangler will be rated in the 13 range for average. If you're not judicious, you'll be sub 10 mpg.

As long as you drive your - 2020 BMW X3M Competition (my daily) why would worry about how much gas the 392 uses?

Awesome, you ended up buying a 2020 X3M after all that?!? Nice! Can't wait to see you on the boards/Facebook group.

Are reading and comprehension skills not your forte? We don't care about the gas mileage of the 392 personally, but the government does. In order for the 392 Wrangler to ever have a chance of making it to production, it'll have to do better in the gas mileage department than it does now.

Disagree. Wrangler 392 V8 same gas hog with guzzler tax at worst offset electric version regarding CAFE. Nobody cares about gas mileage hellcat Redeye, hellcat Durango. FCA gets around the government. (For now)

I disagree. V8 Wrangler 392 V8 will be a gas hog they will just slap a gas guzzler tax on and offset with the electric version regarding CAFE. Nobody cares about gas mileage with a hellcat nobody cares about gas mileage with a V-8 jeep nobody cares about gas mileage with the hellcat Durango. FCA gets around the government.

Hellcats, Durangos, Trackhawks, and Scat Packs aren't getting single-digit average gas mileage figures, though. And gas mileage is just one of many hurdles they need to overcome. There's no way the current steering gear paired with the 392 doesn't present a litany of safety issues, not to mention crash safety concerns that Chrysler before Fiat kept spouting for years, even as far back as the 5.7 in a JK.

The notion that this is merely a concept because FCA is still gauging whether or not the public wants this is a joke. They know we want this. FCA has managed to put 392s and Hellcat engines into virtually everything and get them on lots, but for some reason they haven't been able to accomplish it with the Wrangler.

I say discontinue it in the Ram and let Wrangler have a go at... So I can get something to park in the garage and look at it until they decide to do it again 50 years later... LoL

 

[TJJL19]

Did anyone watch the CNBC video on Jeep? FCA rep. said they do listen to the customer, got that, stop your Boo-Hoo about gas millage, Let FCA worry about that, they are building it,Right?

Nice to see a more fleshed out half door. Looks like they at least bothered to make an inside. A few slots and an upper and I'm sold. TAKE MY MONEY
