She has the 2.7 VM motor Liberty last I knew, not the MBZ 3.0L Grand Cherokee.

That's right. For some reason I thought there was only the one diesel that Jeep made. Forgot about the GC

Yep I have the VM Motori version. It's funny, I almost never see of or hear of the 3.0 MB Cherokee. I did see one on the highway somewhere recently but can't remember where ... I see quite a few 2.8L VM Libertys like mine, relatively speaking.
It's apples to oranges, but for whatever it's worth, my problems so far have mostly been with the EGR and other emissions stuff. I wouldn't be surprised if the 3.0 has similar problems ... however, I installed a tune that has pretty much eliminated the issues and I think the same thing is available for the 3.0.

Mine, or the 3.0? Mine gets around 25 for daily commuting and up to 34-35 on the highway ... that's with the eco tune though ... stock it was more 22/30. Would be interested to know if the 3.0 is comparable ... I think the GC is a bigger car so it's probably less. The Liberty is quite heavy too though.
