the Patriot CRD gets 42.2mpg

my 4.4 sport + dedicated snow tires pirelli scorpion ice and snow in 17" size =
snowmobile!
never had any problems with the snow in nyc, upstate,orange and sullivan counties. once driving through PA over 2-3 of unplowed snow was easily going 70+ without any problems with traction while others were chugging along in the left lane doing 30-40mph
love x5!

Had a Patriot as a rental when I went up to NYC and the beach in DE from DC. It held up well and we only had to fill up about twice!

A little under powered...then again I cant compare to my 4.4....

Lots of storage. Though the interior reminded me of an Element...blech...
