Hi everyone. I was just wondering what you are seeing gas mileage wise in your libertys. I searched many forums and couldn't find a good answer. I am deciding between a Patriot or a Liberty. I really like both of them but I don't really like the CVT transmission in the Patriot:thumbdown:, and I don't want the manual either. So I am sort of leaning towards the Liberty. Please post the MPG you are seeing in your libertys.
Thanks.
Ok. Yea i guess your right. With gas prices most likely going to rise again I want to see what I can expect from a Liberty. Either a newer one or an older one.
CRD is the only Liberty that gets reasonable Gas Milage. The Liberty is up high, weights around 5K Pounds and is the shape of a Bread Box so mileage is going to be bad unless you go CRD
Yeah, I just got an "04 4x4 about 1 month ago, and was rather surprised at the crappy gas mileage myself. I'm getting between 16.5-17.5 MPG, and it's mostly highway mileage. If you're looking for an economical compact 4x4, the Liberty is not the way to go.
That being said, the Liberty is definitely built a bit heavier and is more capable (towing, off-roading) than your typical CRV or Escape.
i run full synthetic fluids, axles and engine, not trans. i get 23mpg on the highway and about 19-19.5 around town. with 245/70/16 Destination at's clevis lift and double rear spring isolators, about 100 pounds to recovery gear in the back.
Mine has been steady 21mpg and this week I believe it's been higher than 24 this week, so far my wife and I put in the same amount of gas and she has burned more gas than myself(She has a dodge Stratus 2.4L) and I have a 05 Liberty 3.7L and drove over 135 miles since monday and I still have a half a tank from 3/4 starting on Sunday afternoon. She's on a 1/4 tank! I'll repost my mileage friday when I fill up my tank.
Nah it needs a new driver, she can't drive a car without lead footing it.. trust me I drove it a week and had plenty of gas to go... car get 32mpg on the hwy..so I have no idea what she is doing except flooring it all the time.
I have the CRD and my stop and go mileage isn't much better than the gasers on the highway maybe mid 20's, but I have a heavy foot. The Liberty really shines when the road conditions are bad or off road, it wasn't designed or built to be an economy car, this is a heavy for it's size suv with a real 4 wheel drive system. The very best mileage run I've had was 1200 miles on 3 gallons of real diesel. I guess that I should also say it was being towed on the back of my motor home.:laugh::laugh:
18.5 mpg for my weekly driving to work 21-22mpg on the highway. BUT it is now winter and I live in Minnesota sooo that damn button on my key fob!!! drops my mpg by about two mpg in the winter.
I have a pretty much stock '05 Renegade (3.7l-Auto. I get:
15-16 city
20-21 highway
15-16 towing 4,000# trailer on highway
Even my supercharged Mustang gets better gas mileage, but its useless for winter, offroad, or towing...:laugh:
