• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

My wife and I just completed a 6572.8 mile trip yesterday across the USA in our 2021 Telluride S. Attached is a screenshot of the Google Map. Check out the screenshot showing 27.5 mpg which surprised me. On the interstates in Montana, Idaho, South Dakota we were going 85-87 mph where the posted speed limit was 80 mph. There were times that we had a fairly heavy tail wind. One tank of gas got us 30.7 mpg. The Telluride was fantastic to drive. We are now at 22,000+ miles and plan to keep it for many years.

Fun times! Although it might be prudent to not post a map broadcasting an address (yours?) on it to the world, unless you want everyone to know.

Excellent point. Thanks for noticing this. I just removed that.
 
Too late, there on their way. ;) Did you do Glacier? I just saw they opened the going to the sun road a few days ago. So late for this summer!

Didn't go to Glacier, but we did spend an entire day in Grand Teton National Park on the way back. Bought the life-time senior pass for the National parks only $80. It includes anyone in the car. We plan on visiting all 60 National Parks in our Telluride in the next few years. We've done about 10 so far.
 
I have discovered the Telly likes to do 40 mph average and I recently did some testing on one that had a high performance catch can installed. That particular vehicle was doing a lot of very low city speed driving (18 mph) and also some highway driving. Not sure if I'm allowed to post such things, but this might help anyone who is interested in performance and mileage:

Well, having a first post be to try and sell a product, that's not all trust forming.

I'd expect if you're promoting your own business or items that you'd check with forum owners first. Your product also seems very questionable at the least. hope its not the scam that it appears to be.
