Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

[LCOceans]

I routinely get 21-22mpg as long as I don't drive too crazy. It seems the more "normal" I drive the higher the mpgs. Normal meaning not excessive acceleration off the line, but not trying to drive ultra-conservative either.

I can easily achieve that average for one trip but if I try that for the entire tank I will be causing road rage for going to slow. Lol

The mileage estimates are determined in a laboratory, at an estimated 55 mph, using a 1958 with its smaller, lighter tires. Any speed above 55 is going to cost you at the pump. It’s not easy pushing a 5,000+ pound brick through the air.

Just finished my second tank, and I already noticed a big difference from the first tank off the lot. 19 MPG on the first tank, and closer to 23 on the second.

Biggest change was trying to get the car to enter the hybrid coast mode as much as possible

While tested in a lab, the EPA testing is quite a bit more comprehensive:

(I still think the city testing is bogus, 23 stops over 11 miles hitting 56mph? Should be more like 40 stops over 4 miles hitting 25mph)

Detailed Test Information

EPA tests vehicles by running them through a series of driving routines, or schedules, that specify vehicle speed for each point in time during the laboratory tests.

I get just over 19 mpg in town and at interstate speeds running 34" tires in E load. So not bad in my opinion

Drove to Cleveland and back from Louisville. I got 20-21 MPG. I tried maintained a speed of 75 MPH using adaptive cruise control. However, I did notice that when I to slowed to 55-65 MPH around the cities the MPG increased to 22-23. My LCFE has 8000K miles on it.
