Re: Diesel Liberty
I don't know what the diesels get but my 05 Libby was getting 16.4 avg,
running mid grade when I traded it in.
Only trouble I had with it (a WHOLE 9k miles) was the cd player.
It's a nice little rig so long as you're SURE it's what you want.
(that there my friend was the voice of experience you just heard)

Re: Diesel Liberty
Kate,
That's not what you were saying when you first bought it. You were very
defensive, about how it was a "real" Jeep, etc.

Re: Diesel Liberty
That is pure unadulterated bullsh*t! The only way to clean the
diesel soot from our air is use an exhaust filter like all diesels sold
in the U.S.of A. http://www.epa.gov/ne/eco/diesel/retrofits.html#dpmf
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/retrofit/documents/f03017.pdf
"The pollution emitted by diesel engines contributes greatly to our
nation's air quality problems. Even with more stringent heavy-duty
highway engine standards set to take effect in 2004 and 2007, existing
trucks and buses will continue to emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides
(NOx) and particulate matter (PM), both of which contribute to serious
public health problems in the United States. Fortunately, there are
several techniques and technologies designed to reduce diesel pollution
from existing trucks and buses. Using pollution control devices such as
a diesel particulate matter filter (DPF) is one way existing engines can
be upgraded (or retrofitted) to pollute less. This fact sheet discusses
diesel particulate matter filters."
