MPG...Whats your experience with your Telly.

[Roberttell]

HELLO EVERYONE,

Just curious to hear your experience with your telly recorded mpg US or Imperial gallons or L/100 km. Do you figure your type of driving would be "a foot dragger" "average" or "lead footer" ?

Acquired mine in November 2020.......the MPG has improved steadily.....I travel back and forth from PA to Vermont about every other month.....my mpg has gone from 25 to 28 and that's at speeds of 65 to 75 mph. Local 30 mile drives at speeds of 30 to 55 mph are now anywhere from 28 to 31mpg. I am very impressed with this vehicle.......

Had this car since January 2020. Mileage for me driving in the city is nothing spectacular. Typically averaging 15mpg in the the city, 19mpg mixed city/highway and 22-25mpg if I strictly drive on non-congested highways for a road trip.

I remote start the car about 5-10 minutes on hot/cold days. I do not use full throttle in my regular driving and I always keep it in smart mode. Thankfully gas is cheap these days.

This is for an AWD model. Very happy with the mileage so far.

That's a useful graphic, thanks. We have under 2K miles on our 2021 EX. I actually logged all the computer provided engine loads and temps using a bluetooth gadget plugged into the computer socket under the dash. We did a circuit up into the NH and ME mountains, scouting campsites while building up the recommended twelve hundred miles before towing. Did the identical loop again this past week, towing a teardrop trailer that weighed in at just under two thousand pounds. First trip we averaged 24 plus MPG, second drip, 20. I'm elated. Also pleased to report that we left the transmission in ECO mode, used the cruise control almost exclusively, and that eight speed tranny was very impressive. I'm hoping the mileage actually improves with further breakin, as seems to be the trend.

We just came back from a trip to the Smoky Mountains, and put about 1300 miles on in mixed highway and mountain roads. Avg MPH was about 26mpg. Very happy with that!

 

[Roberttell]

Thats great. THX

Is this FWD or AWD? What "Driving Mode" do you usually drive in?

It's AWD and I keep it in "Smart" except in the winter on snow roads or spring in Vermont on mud roads.

I am impressed with the mileage. Averaging almost 29 mpg city and highway 2021 SX-P AWD smart mode no cruise. Currently 612 miles on odometer. Waiting to see how it does on a road trip using smart cruise control.

 

[BrindlePit]

I have a 2020 SX-P (AWD) with 8,743 miles...overall MPG is 23.4. For pure highway driving, I'll see between 25 and 27 mpg, depending on terrain and speeds (using SCC/HDA most of the time). I typically leave it in either ECO or SMART though mostly ECO mode. Combine these stats with regular unleaded fuel and my cost per mile drive drops ~35% compared to my previous Infiniti FX35 (premium unleaded required).

 

[Husker Soze]

Hmmmm......am I the only one that have the setting at Comfort majority of the time?
Been averaging 23-25 MPG on Comfort mode

I might have to try the Smart mode on our next road trip.

You must do mostly hwy or have a very very light foot.

My mileage is always better with SCC. I guess I am lead footed. Last weekend I did 30 MPG on the highway with SCC.
