There has long been a debate among vehicle owners and drivers about whether keeping your vehicle's fuel tank on full or empty is a better choice. Both options have their benefits, so let's look at keeping it close to empty first.

With a nearly empty tank there is less weight since gasoline and diesel both have weight to them and so most drivers figure that since the overall weight the engine has to handle is less, it will get better fuel efficiency and then be more cost-effective.

Four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive seem to be the same thing, but there are differences in application and in the varying types of vehicles that use them. While all four wheels receive power in order to increase traction, that is where the similarity ends.

Four-wheel-drive systems are found mainly in pickup trucks and larger, off-road SUVs. They function by utilizing a split differential and a lower gear ration. Used mostly for off-road and rougher terrain driving, these vehicles do very well in such conditions.

The Jeep Wrangler has always been something of an American icon. It traces its heritage all the way back to the battlefields of World War II, where Willys MB was used by Allied soldiers to traverse unpaved, and often unpredictable terrain. This was a rugged four-wheel drive SUV that could go anywhere.

Through the years, this SUV has changed names, changed owners, changed styles, but it has always retained its trademark

Back in March, we were writing about the growing anticipation surrounding the upcoming 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT® Demon. Knowing that it was soon to be "resurrected" at the New York International Auto Show in April, we asked some good questions about how the 2018 Demon will stack up to the powerful and mighty Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Will the Demon really be able to leave the Hellcat in its dust? Short answer: yes, yes it can. That is the truth.

There's a performance racer inside all of us, revving to peel out to Grants Pass, Ashland, Central Point and beyond. Sometimes we need a global consumer advice and ranking authority to rocket it from the starting line toward victory lane. So when U.S. News & World Report reviewed FIAT's iconic Italian roadster's quality and value for five-year total cost of vehicle ownership and average vehicle price, and the 2017 124 Spider wasn't found wanting, earning the title of Best Sports Car for the Money, we at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Medford knew it was owed…

Check out the video below, then come on into Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Medford to lay eyes on the 2017 Grand Cherokee.

Fans of the compact Jeep Compass may be in for a surprise for the upcoming model year.
