Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

If you really insist to get the best gas mileage, you won’t enjoy your LC ownership at all because you will be hyper-miling all the time. In that case get a Rivian instead. Fine-tune your truck in the way you would enjoy driving is more important. You paid for your pleasure, not its efficiency.

If I drive on the highway I see 20-22 mph. City? Depends on the weather. Colder I’m 16-17. Warmer I can get above 18. Just over 2500 miles on mine.

Hypermiling is a lifestyle. Anyone who has owned a Prius gets it. It’s a sport like any other, except you can never quit playing the game for the rest of your life.

I honestly don’t really care about how much gas I put in, I just live for that magical single number. That number is pleasure.

I just got 29.5mpg on the way to the office today. Best mpg yet. About 2,300 miles on it so far so thinking break in period is over. Stop and go traffic for an hour. AC wasn’t running since it was 50-60F this morning.

I hyperboled on my Prius Prime. I can drive its 25 miles EV mode into 40 miles. But Prius is never a fun car so hypermiling can’t make it more boring.

When it comes to LC, it becomes a different story. I don’t abuse it, but I definitely care MPG a lot less.

Yeah.. Even if Miss Daisy wasn't getting mid twenties MPG, I would still love this thing. I just keep telling people on here that good mpg IS possible.

Most of of our driving is within 1-2 hours of the house in southwest NC., day trips, dinner trips, etc. My GF gets car sick easily, so I just take it easy in the twisties, and try not to throw her around in the front seat of Miss Daisy, as I've learned she is easily get motion sickness.

To maybe put this in perspective…

I put AT tires on it and my commute is a very short 5-8min drive at residential speeds. As a result the mileage is waaaaay worse than EPA.

My son drives a 2005 BMW 330xi and he goes for efficiency since pays for his own gas on his minimum wage job (teenager).

I just plain drive, and the twice-the-size, brick-shaped Toyota comes out on top every time by at least 2mpg.

Just under that on a recent road trip to The Outer Banks N.C. Hit 4000 miles so break-in is complete.
