The Mercede's 3.0 Turbo diesel engine is suppose be one best that's currently in production. I guess something good did come out of Mercede's ownership (300 being another one). It's surprising that Mercedes is still letting Jeep use their engine, makes me want to run out and get one before they change their mind. Too bad a city slicker like me would be hard pressed to find the proper roads (or off roads). But considering that a Diesel equipped Grand Cherokee can get 24mpg combined, the lighter JK (by about 500lbs) should return even better fuel consumption. It'd make for an ideal top-down 2nd vehicle. All I've got to do now is win the lotto.
