I would have to say get a permanent, high-flow K&N air filter. My parents both own Jeeps and when my dad replaced his with and my moms' I noticed a definate improvement in their gas mileage. About 5 or 6 miles per gallon.

It sounds like your Jeep is running in its normal RPM range. Fuel economy is 95% drier, 5% car. The vehicle is going to get what it is going to get. It is up to you the driver to get everything there is to get out of the vehicle - and almost nobody does. Change your driving habits and style if you want to see noticable improvements in fuel economy. Lesson one in that plan is that using the brakes converts money into heat. Every time you apply the brakes needlessly you are wasting gas by scrubbing off speed that it took fuel to achieve. So ask yourself every time you apply the brakes "how could I have done this differently to brake later or less"? When you start anticipating when you will need to slow down or stop instead of just waiting til the last second and slamming on the binders like most people you will find your foot spends less time on the gas pedal and that = better fuel economy. 20-40% better if you do it right.

Do you have a bunch of things that attach to the top, or front or anything goofy? As them extra things will decrease fuel mileage, and like another answer stated. Lose all the dead weight you don't need in your vehicle. Hope these help some.

To get better gas mileage somethings that help are replacing fuel filter every 12,000 miles, nitrogen inflated tires, clean air filter, not using a/c, and not driving like a bad ***.

I'm afraid the liberty wasn't made for efficient fuel consumption...it's a nice ride but I would sell if the mileage is a problem for ya

you save like $250 a year on gas or some odd number like that for every 100 pounds less your car weighs....unload all the crap that you dont use out of the trunk.....good tire pressure helps a lot too...
