Pretty much with some hills on the drive.

AND, those MPG numbers are for a vehicle that is tall, boxy and weighs in excess of 5,000 lbs. I love mine for all those reasons, and a list of other positives too long to mention here.

What’s the sample size here, one 18 mile drive going 50mph? What do you average overall?

We consistently get 19mpg in ours on longer drives with mostly highway. More like 15 for urban driving
P400

All depends on driving style and conditions. I'm getting only 10-12 in the city. Short trips, hills and tons of stop and go. P400.

I drive in stop and go traffic and some unimpeded stretches on my 24 mile commute to work. As I’m arriving, I’m usually at 23.7 mpg. On longer stretches, I’m often 24.5.

Wow. Do you guys drive with an egg between your foot and the accelerator pedal? My 130 is doing good to get 18.
