Been driving mine about a week it's an '09 & getting unreal gas mileage, just wondering what everyone else is getting.
Hello what kind of MPG's you guys getting?

We've gotten anywhere from a low of 18 (uphill,against the wind at 75-80 mph) to 24.3 on our 09 Limited with the FDII,switched to synth oil at 1st change (3K miles),got 4500 on it now.
Didn't know about 10k bein' the break-in point,I'll keep an eye on it.

Like spoilers, eh
.
I took the crossbars off--drag or not--and am storing them in the garage until I need them for cargo.
Thanks for the reply, Jack. I don't want any extra bling on my Jeep--Just like Walt Kowalski didn't want a spoiler on his Gran Torino after he willed it to his Hmong neighbor in Gran Torino.

Funny you should say that. My window sticker read:
EPA Estimated Fuel Economy
City: Unreal :banana: / Highway: Unbelievable!

Getting a little over 27 mpg's with mainly city driving.
4X2 5 speed - 4K miles - roof X bars on - tires at 36 psi - 5W-30 synthetic engine oil and Redline C+ synthetic tranny oil.
Has been a cool summer so far in Mich, so AC has only been on once or twice.

Took my first mostly highway trip this weekend. From and to was 31.2 with the air on. Trip back was air off with 33.4. Love the 5 speed, pretty smooth shifts for a non-import ;-). Fun factor is still off the chart and the ride is quite a surprise. Ric

I have about 750 miles on my 09 4x2 5 spd and the last tank of gas I got 27mpg. Not bad at all. Mostly city driving too!
So far: 1st Tank = 24.0 mpg, 2nd =25.3 mpg, 3rd 25.4 mpg, and 4th tank 22.3 mpg... My daily commute is a mix of stop and go NJ highway along with some decent hills. (patriot sport 4x4)
I am pretty sure gas station brands can be a big factor. At lease that was the case with my previous vehicle where i got much better milage using the quick check gas (not sure who thier supplier was) compared to most of the other stations like Luk Oil and Shell. I am not sure how much octane is a factor. Used 87 only so far. My last car actually got better mpg on 87 than with higher octane, whereas my car before that got much worse mpg with 87, so much so that putting 92 octane improved the milage so much that it made up for it in cost.

Bought my Patriot three weeks ago. Three fill-ups and 1673 miles when I filled this morning. According to Fuelly.com, my mileage was...
First fill up (dealers gas) 20.5 mpg and 248.1 miles
I think I was still learning about the CVT and I would imagine that the dealer probably didn't fill the tank as much as I do.
Second fill up...22.8 mpg and 285.4 miles
Hmmm, getting better!
Third fill up... 24.3 mpg and 287.4 miles
Best tank yet!
Most of my driving is a mixture of highway getting to work and then in town/stop & go, going to customers homes. I like that it's getting better. Hope I can get as much as some who have posted.
Check out Fuelly, I think it's a great website that I found mentioned here. Since I track my mileage for business, I think it's going to be a great help.

+1 I have only 1050 miles on it so still breaking in but getting about 22.0 in the city. It seems like the 4x2's are getting about 5 mpg more than the 4x4, then if you through in the manual vs auto the 4x2 manuals are really good on gas it seems.
