what's your gas mileage so far?

[Aeroguy]

SX Seattle here. I’m consistently getting 21 in city and 26-28 on highway, while driving almost exclusively in Smart Mode.

I think this was a trip to work.

This was a day of really mixed driving. Everything from stop and go Atlanta traffic to wide open hwy driving.

While this is decent mileage, the range is kinda a disappointment for me...when I’m doing 700+ miles a day on vac, stopping every 3 hrs for fuel is a pain....

Do you normally drive 110 mph on family vacations? Because if your going the speed limit (or whereabouts) you should be closer to 5-6 hours. That would only be with a roof top carrier and a car full of people and stuff. Otherwise you should easily get 10 more MPGs on the highway at 75 mph

Just did a trip down to Louisville this weekend and got 28.5 mpg on smart mode. I drive pretty aggressive and go 9 over the speed limit. Was doing 79 mph for awhile , had 4 people in the car. Very happy with those results !

I have been a bit underwhelmed with my mileage..I’m hoping because it’s brand new..I have 836 miles on my SX FWD and am rarely seeing anything above 23mpg...most the time in the 19-21mpg range. I have been babying this thing as well. Driving it like a grandma in eco or smart mode..never making it downshift & VERY RARELY making it rev above 4K especially for this break in period..I’m not sure what the problem is with my MPGS...I start sooo slow off the line that people prob hate being behind me..I just don’t get it. I’m hoping thing will improve.

I see you guys posting these stellar numbers and I’m over here grandma-ing my Telly in hopes of something remotely close..

I didn’t go any trips over 30 minutes until just recently. It’s like once i hit over 1000 miles and then I went on the freeway the numbers really started improving. City miles are just ok but highway is pretty dang good.

I don't have that little speed limit sign on mine... What gives?

I have an SX.

You may have that option turned off? I faintly remember seeing something about displaying speed limit signs in one of the option menus. Take a look and see if you find anything.

65% highway and 35% short city ride.

Canadian Telluride SX
AWD

I just returned from a week long trip from BC, Vancouver Island to Edmonton and logged about 3500 km(Approx 2200 miles). This trip was a mixed bag of city/Hwy with the Coast Mountains and Canadian Rockies on the way there and then again on the way back. My average for the trip was 9.4 l/100 km(approx 25 miles to the gallon(us).
I have to say I have done this trip several times in a variety of vehicles and the Telluride did not disappoint. The whole trip was done in eco mode and absolutely no power issues climbing, passing etc. even passing in the steep mountain passes the Telluride did not miss a beat. The vehicle was also loaded with 5 people, a dog and gear that filled every available space. could not see out of the rear window the gear was packed in so tight.

Extremely pleased with my decision to purchase the telluride.

That’s really nice, mine is better but less ppl and stuff. You probably paid so much extra of B.C. GAS

Quite a difference in price between BC and Alberta, and with the mountain driving and the weight in the vehicle I wasn't expecting anything great, Just two of us did a day trip to Stettler and back to Edmonton and it was 8.4 l/100km...pretty flat and no load and the majority was highway. I expect with regular driving my numbers will improve.
All in all i am pleased

Iv taken several 200+ mile trips, avraging 26.5 to 28mpg 90%highway 10%city. 75–85mph. Honestly i am more than impressed getting more than 450 miles per tank.

So, Just want to point out that the in car mpg only works if the car can predict your behavior. If the car can not predict your driving behavior it can not be accurate.

It has to learn your driving. If you change drivers and they drive completely different, the car might not learn as quickly. Each system has a different set of miles it needs to learn your driving, usually a few thousands of constant driving. Lastly, the gauge will need only accurately update at a set number of miles, usually 25 to 100 miles. So if you drive like a manic for 25 miles and stop at 49 miles, your gas mileage will be worst then it actually is. If you drive an perfect angel for the first 25 miles and a manic for the next 24 miles, you will get worst mileage then it shows.

The other problem is that all cars are program to be optimistic in their readings. Some times the will be off by as much as 25% if you keep changing driving behavior.

So, bottom line. Don't compare your dash readings with other cars. The only true way to measure your gas mileage is to fill the gas tank until it clicks, reset the trip, and do the math at the next filling. Anything less will not be a good measure. Now, if you keep driving the same, the dash can tell you if your driving behavior changes or if you are driving in different areas. The dash and the real mileage should be relative to each other. So if you increase your dash mileage, you should increase your actual mileage. Same goes with if you drive poorly. So measure it at the pump. Use the real mileage to calculate if you are getting better or worst. The dash mileage will not be accurate, it might for some, but not for everyone. So learn the difference and get the ratio. With real vs dash ratio in mind, you can work on improve real gas mileage by increasing gas mileage.

SX AWD with tow package not towing anything combo city/hwy 22.3-22.8 in eco mode ... occasionally have heavy acceleration.

First decent length trip in my SX AWD. Smart mode for the entire trip.
