Since there seem to be a few people who know alot about diesels on this forum i thought id throw this question out there.
Right now diesel is $1.26/L ......im still getting a more milage per dollar than gas but id really like it to be better.

Which products could I purchase to help me save on fuel. Performace is a plus, but fuel milage is the main objective.

The catch......its for a 2008 jeep grand cherokee CRD.

Havent been able to find much for this SUV....anyone got anything??

I don't know if this covers diesels or not

Here is the EPA testing gas saving devices

Fuel economy data and instructions on how to read the test results

Basically.. the gimics are junk

I don't know what's out there for the Cherokee, but intake systems, exhaust systems, and sometimes chips can increase your mileage. Not sure what kind of injectors are out there for the cherokee, but different injectors could help to...kind of a fine line though.

I've heard some chipped/programmed diesels do better and I've heard/seen some do worse, so that would be something to look into with the Cherokee.

Basically anything that lets it breath better will definitely increase your mileage. Everything else has variables.

Remember, the things we say and write not only effect those it was intended for, but can also effect the greater population...whether good or bad.
