Yes - please post pics as well as actual mileage you get in 'real world' driving. Do you have the CVT or the stick shift? Sport or limited? We are hungry for all the good info you can share... if you can take a break from driving it long enough to write it down ;)

I just got mine last Saturday and went through my 1st full tank. I was a little bummed at 19mpg, but overall I am happy. I have a sport 4x4. I'll check back and post how well it goes with the 2nd tank...

:smiley_thumbs_up:Hi everyone I am new to the forum and wanted to say good forum! Just purchased a new 07 black limited 4x4 patriot and think its a great little truck for the money. Its the first chrysler/jeep i have ever had, alway's been a gm guy. Hopefully i could like this jeep as much as my previous gm's.
Anyway's i just wanted to state that im only getting 19.7 mpg on my truck and i have been reading that it should get better. I have 1500 km on the truck and was wondering if it will get better as i get more km on the truck. (hopefully it does). Let me know if thats normal. I drive in the city and dont floor the gas . Thanks !

Give it some time and your mileage should improve. When I got mine, I was getting about 19 and now I consistently get 25. Today, I got almost 27 and I forgot the last time I saw anything lower than 23, and I've got a bit of a lead foot! I do mostly highway driving, though, remember city driving will always yield lower MPG due to all the stop and go.

I drive on the highways and my Patriot is about a week old and i'm getting around 18mpg. Not as good as I would hope but only costs about $30 to fill the tank. Good luck with the Patriot dude its a great time and you will find that people ask about your new truck constantly

mine gets mid-20s, especially when im going between 30-50.

going 75 on the freeway is not so good.
