How far a 2019 Jeep Cherokee goes on a tank
Gallons left and the distance they cover at each mark on the fuel gauge, at EPA city and highway mileage. At the combined rating of 25 MPG, a full 15.8-gallon tank covers about 395 miles.
| Gauge | Gallons | Highway miles | City miles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full | 15.8 | 490 | 348 |
| 3/4 | 11.9 | 367 | 261 |
| 1/2 | 7.9 | 245 | 174 |
| 1/4 | 4.0 | 122 | 87 |

Over 15,000 miles a year (the EPA's yearly estimate) this configuration uses about 600 gallons, roughly 38 full tanks.
Fuel gauges aren't perfectly linear and the low-fuel light comes on with a few gallons still in the tank, so plan your stop before the last eighth.
