Thanks for the help with the alarm. new question
2000 Cherokee 4L I6 47K miles. I'm getting into single digit mileage in the city. Little concerned.The car didn't run too terribly much this winter (although there was an xmas trip of 1400 miles), but I just got it on the highway two weekends ago and got the mileage back to about 18MPG after a couple of tanks of gas.
Upon my return to the city driving, I'm back to a really bad 8-9.
I opened the vents and tried to smell for gas leaking from the injectors. No trace, so I stuck my head under the hood, and still seems to be no leaks. I had an MG that used to smell like gas and was getting terrible mileage, but that's because the tank had rusted out. I don't smell any gas around this car at all, so I'm thinking straightforward gas leak is unlikely?
Should I replace plugs? Clean injectors? (oh god). It's almost like someone is siphoning half a gallon from my car every night.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help. Tennjed.
