for sale 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Vapor Class: Midsize SUV/Crossover Seating Capacity: 5 passengers Price (MSRP): $62,790 At the Pump Assuming 15,000 miles driven per year (split evenly between highway and city driving), and an average gas price of $3.46 per gallon, fuel costs will be approximately $3,460 – a quite significant extra expenditure of $1,153 per year relative to competing models. Thats $97.22 more for gas every single month! Gas Mileage This car gets rather poor gas mileage for a midsize SUV/crossover, at an overall 15 MPG (evenly weighted average of 12 city / 18 highway). This represents a very noticeable 33% fuel efficiency deficit to its peers. Range In city driving, Grand Cherokee SRT8 Vapor owners can expect to cover about 295 miles on the 24.6 gallon tank, 83 miles fewer than the class average. On the highway, a maximum range of 443 miles is 64 less than that of rival SUV / crossovers. Power & Torque This Jeep is equipped with a 6.4L V8 engine. The result is a formidable 470 horsepower (the average midsize SUV/crossover has 268 hp for model year 2013). And in a class where 252 ft-lbs is the norm, torque obliterates the competition, at a hearty 465 ft-lbs. Real-World Acceleration Absolute horsepower numbers only paint part of the picture when it comes to how quickly an SUV / crossover can accelerate. Extra weight hinders straight-line performance, which is why auto experts often refer to the power-to-weight ratio for true apples-to-apples comparisons. This models ratio of 10.96 lbs/HP is 34% better than the segment average of 16.53 (a lower number is better), making this one of the absolute quickest SUV / crossovers in its class. Driving Dynamics Independent of power, curb weight (weight of the ready-to-run vehicle with a full tank of gas) offers hints at how a car performs. Lower weight generally translates to shorter stopping distances, better handling, and higher cornering limits. Knowing this, keep in mind that this is one of the very heaviest midsize SUV/crossovers available. contact hansdadyk@gmail
