I continually average 32-35mpg with the Vibe. I don't think I would get that with the Patriot. |

| 2008 | 4dr Hatch 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Mediocre fuel economy. Average 8.5L/100KM (27MPG) with range over 5 years from 6.5L (36MPG) to 9.5L (24MPG). Not bad compared to SUV but not as good as hoped. |
