Default Real Life MPG!

Hi guys, got a 18 Disco SE with 3.0 S/C engine. Love it! Smooth ride. Wondering what mpg you guys have?
I currently got 17.5, with 70% highway, 30% local.

With premium fuel in Colorado I can get about 23 with gentle driving including in-town and highway mix, even including mountain driving.
I do see that the onboard computer is usually 2 mpg higher than computing miles per gallon consumed. 2017 HSE Si6.

My commute to work is 20 miles each way and I get about 21mpg (4 cydliner, P300) with most of the trip is rural/suburban backroads. granted for shorter trips or heavy traffic looking around 17mpg.

Default Not good… oh well… still love this car.

I’m surprised how low is the mpg in seeing on my 2019 lr5
had it for 12k miles so far.
12mpg city with lots of stop and go. 20mpg freeway at about 65. 9Mpg when towing my coachmen 275bhs trailer. Tows like a dream.
I did put 275/65 20 BFG all terrain tires on which may have reduced my mpg a bit.
Luckily I don’t drive much so don’t bother me. But definitely not a strength of this car in my eyes
I wish there was some after market chip that you could dial back power for better mileage when that’s what you want and reverse later.

That’s over 34 inch diameter. I don’t think that could fit.

Also if that were the tire size the distance traveled would be about 13 percent higher than indicated by the odometer

Sorry I meant 275x55 20. No rubbing and runs great.
275x65 will rub is my understanding
