How much does tuning a Jeep Compass Trailhawk cost?

I really love my Jeep Compass Trailhawk, but it just doesn’t get as many miles to the gallon as I would like. I don’t want to trade in my Jeep, but with higher gas prices, I might have to. My friend suggested performance tuning to improve my gas mileage – how much would it cost to tune a Jeep Compass Trailhawk? Is it worth it?

Your friend was probably referring to a chip tuner or a performance chip. For
Jeep Compass Trailhawk
tuning with a professional chip, you’re looking at $100-$600 for the chip, plus another $400-$700 for labor.
Chip tuners work with your Engine Control Unit (ECU) to send signals to your engine to boost power output and fuel economy. There are several benefits to getting one installed, especially if you want to avoid purchasing a whole new vehicle.
Here’s a look at what a chip tuner can do:
  • Horsepower: chip tuners can add up to 35 horsepower, depending on the chip you purchase
  • Fuel economy: chip tuners can increase your MPG by up to 6
  • Torque: chip tuners can add up to 80 pounds of additional torque
Keep in mind, that installing a chip tuner should be done by a professional. A poorly installed chip can seriously damage your engine, leading to substantial repair costs.
