Hey there fans,
I'm still on the fence about buying a Compass, hearing many different stories. I'm in Canada and the adds say for the Comapss north 4x4 2.4 litre,that the fuel economy should be 32 mpg City and 40 mpg Hwy

Is this true?
Waht about the the transmission CVT ???
I live in a town with lots of hills back and forth to work. :?

Can anyone advise?????

I have the 5-speed 4x4,
Average fuel consumption after a year is about 23.3 MPG(Imperical).
32 to 40mpg, wow??

The only Compass that gets that kind of fuel economy is the diesel which is not available here or there....

You are not going to see more than 28 with the CVT2 with autostick on the 4x4. In the winter it will be less at around 24. Not a bad number but I wish we could get the diesel or a hybrid version....

As with all MPG ratings these should be taken with a grain of salt. I haven't seen any reported ratings get the MPG in the real world for any vehicle. I'm at about 27 MPG or 8.5 L per 100 ks. That 75% highway driving.

I don't get the mpg that the dealer said. But I'm pleased with the vehicles' proformance. I have 2007 sport with a manual transmission.
Go Devils!

I am consistantly getting 26.5 MPG doing mostly 60 MPH driving. I have the 4 wheel drive CVT. I am pretty happy with that.

Compass 4X4 w/ manual trannie

I'm getting around 22-24 city driving and 24-26 on the highway.

 

[Jeepster2]

I'm still checking mine, but on a "bad day", I still seem to manage just about 26 MPG. On better conditions I am getting 27.5 MPG.

 

[umpire410]

You are getting better mleage than me and I'm driving in 5th gear whenever possible. The last tank of gas gave me 24 mpg.

Consumption

You are all better than me.
With the 5 speed, I am not able achieve 20mpg-(US Gallons)
Mainly city driving.

 

[Jeepster2]

Read my other post. I am getting about 2 MPG less with the A/C on. It's still really not that bad, at least not untill gasoline gets up and over $4.00 per gallon.

 

[w4rh4wk]

i get 26-28mpg on my 08 sport manual

 

[BigDaveSCB]

So far I've gotten 23-28 mpg. Sitting in traffic with the A/C blowing really drops the milage...

 

[shmup-o]

My first two tanks were not that great - hoping it gets better :/

 

[Feel for life]

it will...............

You just need to get out of town more often or take that canoe off once in a while.

I can make mine do 35mpg after I clean the air filter and don't drive like a complete idiot (I drive more like a half idiot)

It seems that 24-26 mpg is my average. I am surprised that adverse hiway mileage is not worse than 22 mpg.
