Excise tax? No. Excise tax is put on a product at the time of manufacturing. What does that have to do with consumption of fuel?

What is the cost for yours?

Did the bin from Benny come with locks, or did the locks need to be purchased separately?

I'm not understanding you, unless you are referring to the benefit of a hybrid vehicle. I actually have 2 Prius'. A 2010 standard hybrid, and a 2012 which is a plug-in Prius. The 2012, after the battery is depleted from its charge, works exactly like the 2010 hybrid Prius. The primary...

I can kind of relate... The picture is a snapshot of the Mazda 6 I was driving, flat out in Germany. My coworker had a Focus that would run 135 mph... but getting passed when you are going 114 mph by cars that make you feel like you are standing still is rather impressive.

I know this is slightly off topic. I was looking to purchase an under seat storage bin. allmoparparts.com, one of the site sponsors, has the bin for sale. I ask in the forum's if the locks come with it, and Benny was not sure. See post...

I already have an plug-In hybrid (Prius Plug-In). It gets 10 miles on a charge before the gas engine runs. Without plugging it in, it gets an average of 50 mpg. So I'm saving 1/5 of a gallon of gas per charge. That saves me $0.45 in gas (at $2.25/gal), but it requires 2.3 kWh to charge up...

Too bad that in the same state that they build Jeeps, you get an extra $200 tax per year for your license plate, if the vehicle can be plugged in to charge. It doesn't matter if you can go 10 miles on a charge, or 400. For that reason, I would never consider this.

This is for sure! Tesla is coming out with a Model S this year that will have 3 electric motors. According to Tesla, the specs are this: And Elon's Cybertruck... Edit: In 1981, didn't the rock band Rush, write about our combustion engines in their song Red Barchetta...

If you compare apples to apples. MSRP on the diesel is $4,000 more. The automatic transmission (AT) is $2,000 more for the diesel over the manual transmission (MT). But if you want the 3.6L Gas with the AT, it is also $2,000 more than the MT. For me the $2,000 transmission cost is a wash...

I don't think that is accurate. My Diesel engine cost me just a bit over $3500 after tax. It puts out 70% more torque than a stock gas engine. Add a Magnuson SC, and you still are at 380 lb-ft of torque, not the 442 that the diesel puts out. My diesel is fully warrantied by FCA... I'm not...

I'm not sure about the gas engines, but it was reported that the block heater on the diesels are installed, its really the cable that you are buying. Since the Diesel engines are made in Italy, they may just build every one with the heater installed. Somewhere on the forum, someone reported...

Unfortunately that nozzle will not fit into the diesel Gladiator.

Everyone makes mistakes. If they didn't, we would only need body shops in the north to fix the rusty vehicles. If you recognize that you are putting gasoline in your diesel Gladiator, don't start it. Having the tank serviced is way cheaper than the cost of fixing the diesel engine. I know...

Jeep talks about this in length in the manual, starting on page 481. The answer to this is, it depends. Up to B5, no problem. B6 to B20 can be used, but the maintenance schedule is subject to shorter intervals, 10,000 miles reduced down to 8,000 miles and fuel filter changed every second oil...

Do both the locks come with this item? If they do, how do they get keyed to our Gladiator key? Thanks Jim

First tank was 29.2 MPG, 95% highway. I think there was a tailwind helping it.

11 miles. When I got into the vehicle I didn't reset the trip and the MPG was just over 18. When I stopped to fill, I took that picture.

Actually it was uphill all the way, from Gupton Motors in Springfield Tenn. to North East Ohio. That's mostly north, so it has to be uphill, right? Diesel... that is what gave me the mileage. Unloaded, unmodified, new JTR.

It must be that the last several vehicles, Ford, Chevy, Toyota, that I've owned have had the same issue with getting full capacity into a tank that the JT has. I usually could only stuff in somewhere between 1 and 2 gallons less than the the tank capacity. I was assuming, possibly incorrectly...
