• 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...

I ask because I do mostly city driving and have been averaging around 19-20 mpg's and have been filling up at around 260 miles when the low fuel light comes on. I have an upcoming trip from the Washington D.C. area to Charlotte NC which is 420 miles. I would love to make it on a single tank!
 
I'm consistently getting around 440 miles on a tank. I do 95% highway driving with cruise set at 70mph.

Only getting 260 miles doesn't seem right. You'd have to be getting less MPG, not filling the tank, or filling up pretty early (not when the fuel light comes on). Either way, they should've included a larger fuel tank for such a large vehicle... especially one that tries to portray adventure.

Agreed on both points. I haven’t been paying attention to the exact gallons each fill up but great to hear others getting over 420 miles on a single tank of highway driving.
 
Started with 18 mpg at 270 -280 miles in a full tank. Now that my Telluride is over 1k miles, its registering at 20 mpg average and gets me to 290-300 miles. I drive 65% hwy and 35% city.
 
This is one of the negatives for me as I get 600+ on my JGC Eco Diesel.... This vehicle should have a 25+ gal tank....
