Jeep Compass Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4
CVT AWD w/low range		 Improved mpg 21/27 see full Jeep Compass review
2008 4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Rated one of the best for its class see full Jeep Compass review
2008 4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 The Compass has the fuel economy of a 4 cylinder sedan, with the comfort of an SUV. Yet those 4 cylinders put out approx 172 HP, more than enough to get the vehicle hussling down the road at a good pace without feeling gutless. see full Jeep Compass review
2007 4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4
5-speed manual AWD		 Compared to the 13 mpg avg of our 04 Dakota, it was a no brainer. see full Jeep Compass review
 

What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Dodge Dakota

Dodge Dakota Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2004 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 230-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic RWD		 Gas mileage is not too great. Essentially, it is no better than many larger trucks. Long trip highway mileage averages 19.5 mpg, but in-town driving really pulls it down. My driving is 75% highway, but just that 25% town driving pulls the mileage down to about 17. see full Dodge Dakota review
Dodge Dakota Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 230-horsepower 4.7L V8
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 It's a v8 4x4 truck. The mpg is awful. Not that you would expect different. see full Dodge Dakota review
2007 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 210-horsepower 3.7L V6
4-speed automatic RWD		 HORRIBLE. EPA rated for 17city 20hwy but due to transmission problem, I doubt I exceeded 20mpg on most occasions. see full Dodge Dakota review
2005 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 210-horsepower 3.7L V6
4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 9 to 15 mpg for a V-6 see full Dodge Dakota review
