With only a 13.5 gallon fuel tank, I'll be filling up every other day!

That might be a bit annoying...I have a Chevy Blazer and I think the tank is smaller than that.....at an average of 17.5 mpg, that's a lot of filling.

That's what I thought when we bought our commuter car. It has something close to a 10 gallon tank. Compared to our truck with nearly a 30 gallon tank, I thought we would simply be driving from station to station. Turns out that we would still visit the station at the same rate as we had previously, only now we'd buy 1/3 the gas each time.

So we still make those once a week gas stops. I am betting it will be the same for the Patriot, too.

Maybe the Patriot will have a bigger tank--let's hope so! Remember, the Compass is aimed at an "urban" crowd, where, therorically, people don't have to drive far to get whatever it is they need.
