Average Fuel Economy

Hey guys! Just wondering if this was normal? We average usually 25mpg on a single trip? This was my trip from home to work this morning.

 

Abnormal....
You should be averaging 9 MPG.

 

idk I only do short trips so get like 15

 

only time I get this is if speed limits range from 50-60 and not driving in a headwind

 

Yep the head wind kills my MPG!

 

Yeah, hitting toll roads going 85-90 and a headwind, I don't even look anymore at what I'm getting

 

I started off driving off the lot with about 10mpg. Now, with 800 miles on it I get about 15 mpg

 

Fuelly app is the way to go. Here’s mine. (‘17 O/R 6mt. basically stock, moved up to 265/75/16 Nitto Ridge Graplplers in Dec. They are a little heavier than OEM Goodyears). Logged every single one since new (Dec’16). I was ~90/10 Hwy/City before COVID. Now more like 10/90 hwy/city (Working from home):

 

How does that communicate with the car? BT xmitter?

 

Abnormal, but not unheard-of

 

Simple (free) app. Just type in basic info every fill up: miles, gallons, price, location if you want and percentage highway/city driving. Lots of filters and graphs if you like.

 

Mine is usually a little bit better on my way to work (lower overall elevation at work) and not so much on the way home (a lot more stop and go traffic).
This pic was taken this morning.

 

I've never check my fuel economy on any trip shorter than 50 miles.....it varies from summer getting around 23 to 20 in the wintertime.

 

very nice! I've been averaging approximately 17-19 mpg on mine with my 8 mile commute to work, '21 OR DBLCAB MT.

 

I dont know how you are doing it. Im always in the 16 range. may hit 17 or 18 on a long freeway trip. maybe its crappy California gas.

Check under your hood. I bet they snuck in a 4 cylinder on you..

 

Mine yesterday, downhill both ways with tiny 16” tires on

 

Some of you guys are showing distance traveled between 18-30 miles. That proves nothing. On 30 mile trips I've gotten 4 mpg or 40 mpg depending on the terrain. I've gotten as low as 12 mpg on a 300 mile trip and as much as 23 mpg on a 300 mile trip depending on wind, terrain and if I were towing or not.

Get back with us in a few thousand miles.
