Default Fuel efficiently
I have a 96xj Cherokee limited. I looked it up online and the econany is suppose to be 11.5l 100l. Put 60l in and it went 350km, then wen refilled it took another 60l so that should be accurate. That would make me running to about 18l per 100k.
I understand it's old but 18l seems a lot. What's everyone else getting? Why can I do to help it. It has a roof rack fitted (custom) weighs about 40kg.

I have a problem with the engine as well. It try's to stall. When driving sometimes it won't go and you have to put your foot down and then it will go. When it happens it seems to be sucking a lot of air. Maybe what controls the air,fuel ratio?

What lift and tyres are you running? This will have a big impact on your fuel consumption.
Just as a comparison mine is a 95, when it still ran the old OBD1 engine (with really low compression) running 2" lift, 30" tyres (stock gearing), spare on the roof rack, rear fully loaded with twin metal drawers and twin fridges towing a 1t camper trailer from Brisbane to Cape York and back including the OTT I averaged 17l/100.
On a trip to Tassie with a roof pod, same lift, OBD2 engine (much higher compression), reageared to 3.73:1 running stock 225/75/15 tyres fully loaded I averaged 12.5l/100.
Empty I have gotten a best of 10.1l/100 again on stock tyres and 3.73 gears.
Since changing to full OBD2 I know it's better when loaded but not measured yet.

This set up was getting better economy then yours...


I suggest some maintenance is required for yours, O2 sensors, maybe cat etc....

not sure what that bit of wrap is for

Thought I would upload a few photos.

So It would be a good idea to buy some new injectors? Commodore 777 ones?
