joshg678 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'm still at 48.0MPG on mine, been really hot lately here and I don't handle the heat well so i always keep my car at 73, so i've had a lot of trips where the Trip MPG wasn't too cool (pun intended)Still typically getting 52-55MPG in the morning to the office, but other shorter trips and afternoon is where i get 48MPG, or less some times. Going to get my car tinted soon. ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptjones Posted October 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 WOW! in less than two months Life Time has gone up again to 50.6 mpg. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted June 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Well it took 6 months to go up another tenth to 50.7 MPG with 252k miles. ? Part of the reason it took so long was I had a bad trip during the winter, I drop to 50.5 mpg and had to work my way back to 50.6 mpg.

ptjones Posted July 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Well my Fuelly.com average went up today 49.8 mpg so I expect my LT will go up to 50.8 mpg in the next few days. Considering it only took 7 weeks/ 4k miles with 256k miles on ODO. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcgliss Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) At 33,000 miles, my wife has average 49.6 with EV at roughly 61%. Would be higher without Chicago winters. Updated 10/05/20: Now at 49.8 but cold weather will temper further improvements. 46-48psi tire pressures, no grille covers, no ECO use.

impaladb Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Just over 50,000 miles and my lifetime mpg is at 60.3. It was up to 69.9 at one point but a long trip in the mountains brought it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Sounds Great, ? so what Model and Year CMAX do you have? Do you use Fuelly.com to keep track of your gas mileage? Paul Edited September 16, 2020 by ptjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted November 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Well My Fuelly average went up to 49.9 mpg today with 262k miles on the Odometer. My Life time should be hitting 50.9 mpg shortly.? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 My lifetime peaked at 43.6MPG. After I replaced the stock low-rolling-resistance tires with a regular tire, I saw a pretty big drop in my long-term fuel economy: Between 20k miles and the tire change at 55k, it averaged 44.2 MPG; and it has run an average of 41.1MPG since replacing the tires, which works out to a drop of 7.5% - which is a good bit more than I expected. But that doesn't appear to be solely related to the tires: Comparing the speed on the speedometer to the speed reported by a GPS unit, the car no longer over-reports my speed. Previously it reported about 4-5% over-speed, now it's dead-on. Perhaps the new tires have a slightly larger diameter? Accounting for that, I suppose the low-rolling-resistance tires provided about a 3% improvement fuel economy. And I just had the transmission replaced - it would not be crazy to think that could have a measurable impact on fuel economy, though it is too early to tell so far. With all that, it's down to 42.6mpg lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
