I like the looks of it, but I think 30 mpg is a fantasy. The most mpg I ever got with a car was with my Suzuki Samuri, 30 mpg. Great car, never a single mechanical problem, loved it! But the Samuri was half as big (really small) as this Jeep. One thing I've learned about Jeeps, they all like their gas! As an aside, I remember when Jeep first rolled out the "Compass", they were saying the mileage was going to be 12 mpg. I don't know anyone that ever had one, but I was amazed that a car company would even try to sell a vehicle the got that kind of mileage!
