Hey guys and gals - got a couple of quick questions for ya... :D

1) How much are post-factory fog lamps?

2) Are these MPG details correct?! Just pulled 'em off the Jeep site while building and comparing:

SPORT 4x2 - E Pkg
City = 23
Hwy = 28
Combined = 25

SPORT 4x4 - E Pkg
City = 25
Hwy = 29
Combined = 27

Thank you!!!

Thanks guys!

It struck me as weird that the 4x4 was getting better mileage than the 4x2... were those numbers skewed based on the MPG change over the past year or... ?

Also, why does it cost so much more to get the Inferno Red? The other special paint options are, what, $75 cheaper?

Thanks again!
:D

P.S. Hey Dan, how do ya know that I can't install those lights myself, hmmm?!!?!? :p

Do not consider installing the Fog Lights yourself, or your hubby for that matter, as was suggested earlier.

The front bumper panel must be removed, the preset holes cut out, the wiring done and the switch to operatate the lights installed on your interior instrument panel.
Wow... yeah, methinks we won't be undertaking that project. ;)

2007 Pat 4x2 with CVT. Not sure what the "E" package contains. Right now I'm getting:

- 26 mpg city (EVIC)
- 27 mpg highway (EVIC)

Combined: 26.5 (Duh!)
I wonder if those MPG listings on the Jeep site are funky because the standards changed this year... I think manuals get a little better mileage than automatics; I find it hard to believe that a 4x4 would get better mileage than a 4x2!

Do you know why the red paint is more costly than other options? (I guess the best looking color has the heftiest price tag! :p)
