MPG

[blitt]

So....the Telly now has 10K miles on the meter. The other day, took it on a 31 mile run on two lane roads in rural Vermont. Never went faster than 55....had to slow to 30 several times going through small towns...up and down hills. The mpg at the end of the trip was 31.3 !! I am still amazed.....highest mpg I have ever achieved on any SUV of this size that I have ever owned.

That's amazing and I am jealous as I am only seeing cumulative 17.7MPG driving around NYC/Long Island area

Yeah.....on my run there was almost no "stop and go" which I think plays a big role.

Right there with you in your twin vehicle. I average just above 15 MPG in the city (Houston). Too many short trips.

Short trips around town slow speeds and stop and go with hills... Normally 22.6 MPG, get on the highway at all and it goes up to between 24 and 26 MPG....

Feel the same way.. Getting 13 MPG in my current vehicle so anything over that will be an improvement!!
