That's pretty impressive mileage, especially the city mileage. Highway mileage was about what I expected, it is after all an aerodynamic brick with rounded corners. It must also have a fair bit of oomph with the v6 under the hood. How are you liking the transmission?

Yes, it is right where it should be and should be better after 8 - 10 k on it.
This is a nice Jeep!

The Cherokee has a lot more ***** than my Wrangler had and is pretty peppy.
As for the 9 speed. It has a few flat spots in it depending on what I am doing!
There are ongoing updates for the 9 speed. It is all computer controlled and they are changing setups to get it better. I have only had one update but there is another available. It is not a biggy because it runs fine, just could be better.
I plan on going in for the latest update next week or so.
