<< back to Commander homepage

Stay on the road longer. The Jeep Commander offers worthy gas mileage without sacrificing classic Jeep brand capability. Choose between three available engines that are sure to keep your driving desires—as well as your gas tank—fulfilled.

	As a Flex Fuel*† vehicle, the 2008 Jeep Commander with available 4.7L V8 Flex Fuel engine, runs on both unleaded gasoline and E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline), a fuel derived from corn that allows for excellent performance as well as cleaner burning emissions.
	The Jeep Commander’s available 5.7 liter HEMI® V8 offers the fuel efficiency of smaller engines by implementing innovative MDS (Multi-Displacement System) technology—a system that conserves 15% more fuel than other V8s (under certain driving conditions).

2008 Grand Cherokee
<< back to Grand Cherokee homepage

Beyond the might and musculature, Jeep® Grand Cherokee offers a lot of practicality, too. It’s made with the “all that and more” philosophy—especially in fuel efficiency. Now Grand Cherokeegoes farther, faster and… better. And it looks good doing it.

	If you want to talk fuel economy, talk diesel. The available 3.0 V6 Turbo-Diesel engine has pronounced fuel economy and 4x4 driving range. And see this: 215 hp with 376 lb-ft of torque.
	As a Flex Fuel*† vehicle, the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee with available 4.7L V8 Flex Fuel engine, runs on both unleaded gasoline and E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline), a fuel derived from corn that allows for excellent performance as well as cleaner burning emissions.
	Let’s get advanced. Go with the available 5.7L HEMI® V8 with MDS (Multi-Displacement System), and your engine, under certain driving conditions, gets the fuel efficiency of smaller engines—conserving 15% more fuel than other V8s. But without losing that extra “oomph.”
