I can get a 1996 Jeep Cherokee 8 cylinder for free but i can not afford the gas. Most of the 1996 models were made with a 6 cylinder. Is there any cheap modifications that I can do to make it more fuel efficient and how much would it cost? Is it possible to get 2 cylinders disconnected so that is runs on 6 like the other models? Please let me know thanks

The Jeep is going to be a gas-guzzler, no matter what you do. However, you can minimize the gas pain by altering your driving style. Accelerate gently, use cruise control whenever possible, adhere to the speed limit, coast to a stop whenever possible, etc.

Don't try to shut-off any of the cylinders by the way. It will only make the engine run like dog-duty...
