Fuel ratings of the jeep compass and chevy equinox?

[jordankrev]

My sister has a jeep compass which she is currently leasing, what my concern is she says it gets horrible gas mileage for a small Fuel efficient suv and thought it would be better on gas as she was told . she barley does any driving just a 5 to 8 minute drive from home to work and the odd local store ect which are not far away. I told her about the new 2010 chevrolet equinox but I thinking it might be harder on gas then the jeep or would it be a little lighter then the jeep ? if any one who knows the fuel rating for each vehical please throw me an answer. And if anyone owns a compass and has the same problem please let me know

Five to eight miles to work will not even get the engine warmed up, and if the engine is allowed to warm up it sure will ruin the MPG. My Dad does about the same thing to a Subaru and ends up with 15 mpg.
But to the question
Equinox 22/34
Compass 23/28
