I average 240-250 miles per tank. And that’s with a bull bar, four pod lights, a rack and tire on the roof. So I have quite a bit of wind resistance working against me. Just try to keep the RPM’s low and coast downhill when you can.

It’s a 2.4, I thought it wouldn’t be that bad in fuel economy, lol

It’s to small if an engine for the weight of it was a 6 we would get way better mpg

let’s be real everyone… fuel economy played a part in a lot of us deciding to buy the Patriot… the whole “don’t buy a jeep for fuel economy” doesn’t really apply to our vehicles… a 2wd 2.4 should get decent mileage… I’m guessing its just that you’re doing mostly city driving… I average between 280 and 320 miles per tank with my 2.4L 6speed auto 4×4

I lost about 2 miles a gallon when I changed my rims and tires. I was averaging 23ish with the stock 16″ combo as soon as I changed to the heavy 16×8 Jeep Moab rims and 235/70/16’s A/T’s I get about 21 miles a gallon. But my lifted Explorer was averaging 12 miles a gallon so I’m happy

I average 300 miles on the nose just about every time the gas light comes on. Mix of highway and street daily (08 2.4L 5-speed manual).

I average about 23.5 mpg, mostly in town driving. Everything is stock, 2.4, 4×4, 6 speed automatic. I just drive normally (for me) keep the rpms down and work with traffic flow not using brakes unless necessary. LOL, I still get wherever I am going within a few seconds of the guy who always blasts off from the light. Haven’t taken it on a road trip yet to check the mileage nor run it down to the light, so fill up around 230 miles.

Sport 4×4 2.4L 6 spd I get 310 a tank on avg. I do a combo of hwy and city driving. I’m out in the rural area where there are not too many lights so my mileage stays higher than normal city driving. I only dip down around 280 when I’m in town or get bad gas.

I get 240-267 miles to the tank when the low fuel light screams at me. ’15 2.4 4wd. Tyres are crappy oem Affinity. Yakima round bars for a little drag. Highway city mix (with bias towards the latter).

Light weight wheels and tires are the best thing for that.

I’m getting 27.5 mpg average. I try to never let the low fuel light come on. The app I’m using says I usually fill up around 268 miles, which would be a 1/4 tank left. 2015 2.4 FWD 6 speed.

Looks good…yes… this is one of the problem…big tires and beavy equipment…I only install a hitch and the roof basket but I add more air to the tires….hahaha.

I like bigger tires but I talked a lot with a guy in a Goodyear dealer and he said he don’t recommend big tires for my car because the engine is small and early or late going to burn the engine because going to be too heavy…so I’m going to change later…but only for the Goodyear SA.

The biggest thing is keeping it at or under 70 mph. When you go over that mileage goes into the toilet really fast! My sweet spot is 65 to 70.
