Lowest Land Cruiser MPG

[ToeKnee]

Just completed a mini trip into the Poconos this weekend from Central NJ. About 95 miles each way. Average speed on highway was 70-75mph. Observed fuel "economy" was 15.5 mpg

Have LT285/75R18 Open Country AT3's on a 2" lift. No other mods.

To be expected I guess. Love the truck regardless.

Just picked up a 2026 LC with the Premium package around Christmas. It has roof rails but no cross bars or roof rack. Stock Geolander tires with the 20" rims. No modifications at all.

I only have 500 miles on it, so it's still very much in the break-in period but I'm averaging 13mpg (sometimes less). Haven't had a chance to take it on a road trip yet, so it's been exclusively inner city driving so far. The commute to work is 4 miles with 23 stop lights and some up-and-down hills. It's been pretty cold all month, so that's not helping much either. Running it in Normal mode, not Eco.

Any hope for that MPG improving over time? Not that I care too much about the MPG, just finding it amusingly low so far

It should improve. I started at 17; now at 21.5 mpg. On 18s and heavier falkens
