    Hi jarretnc, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box? Is the engine light on? Could be the fuel pressure regulator is letting gas directly into the intake through the intake manifold vacuum port.

Did this happen overnight or was it a gradual loss? Did you do any kind of repair before you lost the gas mialage? Is there a check engine light on or did it come on and go off? Did anything weird happen before the jeep got bad gas mileage? It's hard to diagnose a problem like this without actually touching the car.
Any other info might help me steer you in the right direction.

SOURCE: jeep liberty gas mileage

when was the last time you put in fuel injector cleaner? I put in Lucas Oil Injector cleaner every other or every oil change.

There are alot of factors affecting your gas mileage. Tire wear, tire pressure, wheel alignment, air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, oxygen sensors, just to name a few. So to say what you need is just shooting in the dark without more information. I would probably start with your oxygen sensors, and then perform a tuneup. If your vehicle pulls to one side or the other when driving on the highway you need to stop into the shop for a wheel alignment.

well you may need to have it serviced even though your not too hard on it. try a complete tune up and see how the milage is affected

change your spark plugs if they haven't been changed in awhile. check your tires for the propper psi there should be a sticker on the inside of your drivers door that will tell you recomended air pressures go by this not the recomendations on the tires. also where are you getting you gas does it contain ethanol sometimes this can burn faster.

check the fuel pump fuse/relay, could be just bad enough to cause an intermittent start/no start. and check fuel pressure,spark and the crank position sensor.

Gas gauge reading wrong

One of two things: either the gage itself is malfuntioning or the float/sending unit in the gas tank is failing. Disconnect the plug at the tank for the sending unit, pick up a new sending unit and attach it to the plug without taking the old unit out of the tank. Then operate the float up and down on the new sending unit. If the gas gage reads correctly when the float is all the way up (full) and all the way down (empty) the old sending unit is probably bad and should be replaced. If there is no difference when you connect the new sending unit, the gage is probably bad. Then you can return the new sending unit (as long as the auto parts store allows returns of electrical parts) and buy a new gage. Install the new gage and...happy motoring.

Where is the fuel filter on a 2006 liberty 3.7L located?

The Liberty doesn't have an in-line fuel filter, it is part of the fuel pressure regulator on the top of the fuel tank and is not serviced unless the fuel press regulator is defective and being replaced.

Gas gauge flys from quarter tank to way past full mark and sticks

This isn't a definite fix, but it may be that the gasoline in your tank is 'sloshing' forwards and backwards and your sensour is getting readings when the gasoline is in different positions in your tank. The connection is actually above your gasoline tank and you'll have to take off the tank harnesses and drop the tank if you want to check to see if the connection became slightly loose, otherwise you can just fill your gas tank and reset your temporary milage gage (that's the little black button near your RPM meter) and remember how many miles you get per tank.

Auto repair

My jeep when empty still has 6 gallons approx left with the light on, i assume the sending unit took a ****, or the float is messed up. As the 2 people above i would say the method to fix your problems is having the sending unit replaced. Which means taking the fuel tank down and replacing the sending unit which housed the fuel pump and the float/line. Not cheap.
