Drop in Fuel Economy
A recent drop in fuel economy in a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee can be caused by several factors, ranging from driving habits to mechanical issues. Common causes include underinflated tires, a dirty air filter, faulty oxygen sensors, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
Diagnosis Details

A dirty or clogged engine air filter restricts airflow, causing the engine to run rich.
Faulty oxygen sensors (O2 sensors) can cause incorrect air-fuel mixture, lowering MPG.
