The compact Jeep Patriot was introduced in 2007. The Patriot’s low base price makes it the least expensive American SUV. Highway gas mileage ratings for the Patriot are a shade less thrifty than the more aerodynamic Jeep Compass, which is built on the same platform.
The domestic Patriot can be ordered with either a 2.0 liter or 2.4 liter DOHC four cylinder producing 158 or 170 horsepower, respectively. In European Patriots, a 2.0 liter diesel engine delivering 229 foot pounds of torque is available. The diesel delivers 32.1 urban / 51.4 extra urban miles per British gallon. That works out to roughly 26.7 city / 42.8 highway miles per gallon here in the States.

Note: the EPA tweaked their testing procedure, starting with the 2008 model year, with the end result being that the 2008 MPG estimates are now lower than previous years. As always, YMMV.

Where are US diesels? Stupid silly American car makers…
I agree, more diesels here in the states and even more diesel electric hybrids!!! Recycle all waste oils that can be converted into Bio-Diesel! It should be against the law to waste a resource that can be used to supplement dependence on foreign oil. Get those MPG’s up now in production cars until we can all run on electric cars powered by the sun, wind, hydro, etc.
I know, right? We can derive diesel from algae, too, and I would totally jump on that.
