Um I really doubt that Volvo was 18 mpg or less, so wtf

And I wouldn't doubt this procedure causes as much pollution as the vehicles they're trying to replace.

I wasn't planning to do anything before then either and didn't realize it ended in November...it pays to read I guess.

My Jeep has been running fine and the 4x4 works great and it has cold A/C but yesterday I heard a clunk and the CEL came on...uh oh...so my plan may be altered.

It gets an EPA estimated new combined 21MPG. The cut off is 18MPG or less.

Is there a list for that ? I assume my Jeep is right at 18 or less.
