The 2009 Jeep® Patriot 4x4 delivers best-in-class EPA estimated 28 highway miles per gallon[1] when equipped with a five-speed manual transmission and Freedom-Drive I® 4WD system.
Dual Overhead Camshafts (DOHC) and dual Variable Valve Timing (dVVT) on both the intake and exhaust camshafts help both the 2.4L and 2.0L engines achieve stellar fuel economy.
The electronically controlled timing is continuously adjusted to provide either maximum power or optimal fuel efficiency[2] — depending upon the demands at that instant. Smart.
The 2.0L and 2.4L PZEV[3] engines (late availability) uses environmentally-friendly exhaust manifolds. By heating the catalytic converter quickly, exhaust gases mix faster in the manifold's single-wall design. There is also a secondary air system that injects ambient air back into the cylinder head during cold start conditions. The ability to mix the exhaust gases at a higher rate and the use of the air injection system reduces emissions when a driver starts his or her vehicle.

- Green Story
IIntroducing the 2.0L and 2.4L PZEV engines (late availability) — a below-the-radar green machine. Greenercars.org rated the 2.4L I-4 manual transmission one of the best vehicles by class for 2008.
The PZEV World engines — even in park it performs. An important part of the PZEV's advantage is its elimination of evaporative emissions, the gasoline fumes that escape during refueling or, especially on hot days, from the fuel tank and supply lines. Even a car that is not running can emit a significant amount of evaporative pollution — perhaps 25% of the vehicle's total emissions, the air resources board says — so the special fuel system makes a real difference in air quality.
How much cleaner are PZEV tailpipes? About 70% cleaner than cars that are clean already. Automobiles receiving a Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) credit have met the Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) tailpipe standard which is 90% cleaner than the average 2003 automobile. In addition, they have near-zero evaporative emissions and their emission control equipment has a 15-year / 150,000 mile warranty.[5]
- Partial Zero Exhaust Vehicle
The Partial Zero Exhaust Vehicle (PZEV) engine uses environmentally friendly exhaust manifolds. By heating the catalytic converter quickly, exhaust gases mix faster in the manifold's single-wall design. There is also a secondary air system that injects ambient air back into the cylinder head during cold start conditions. The ability to mix the exhaust gases at a higher rate and the use of the air injection system reduces emissions when a driver starts his or her vehicle.
- Aerodynamics / Wind Tunnel
The Patriot was extensively tested in Chrysler's state-of-the-art Aero-Acoustic Wind Tunnel for maximum slipperiness. The steeply raked front windshield, roof racks, side mirrors and other key elements were sculpted to reduce drag and wind noise.
- No deductible. Not valid on 2010 models. See dealer for a copy of limited warranty and details. Non-Transferable. Not available on SRT®, Diesel vehicles and certain fleet vehicles.
