Out of 2k miles driven this is the best I’ve gotten so far on 91. Fairly flat road-trip going 70 the whole tank. That being said my average is still like 14 because…sport mode.

I know I live in the Appalachian mountains but I can't be the only one living in a mountain range. Gas mileage??? 😬 maybe 9/10 uphill and 14/15 down and everything is a hill.

I do my best to not view my MPG results to not "spoil" any of the fun I'm having. Having said that I'm btwn 14-15 mpg using 87. When the weather warms up here in DFW I'll be moving to 91, esp if the ProCal ever comes available for the 3.0 models.
I am the same with with my "fun" trucks. I run premium in my little 2.3ltr (Badlands not Braptor) I get about 2-3 MPG better. However I also have the 7sp manual and can wake up the squirrels under the hood holding 3rd gear on 37's.

Finally got to do a few trips. All stock at the moment. Have Whipple Mega to install and tuner.

I used 87 on both trips. One 800 mile trip scored 16.9 mpg. Freeway mostly doing 75. Some city driving.

Another trip over the Cascade Range from Central Oregon to Newberg and back. Anywhere from 35-78mph. Canyons, Freeway, back river roads to rolling hills. Sport mode. Topping out the Warm Springs grade I was at 21.8mpg at 78mph. Ending the trip at 19.3mpg. Highest was over 22.1mpg. No, I wasn't babying it, hence sport mode.

I was very happy as the initial 250 miles on 91 had only yielded 15.6 so I didn't even hope for 18.

Considering that is a mix of all terrain, I would say that is pretty good.
13k miles.... 14.5 mpg on non reformulated 91 octane. I live in farm country, no stoplights around here...

Just finished a 1332 mile road trip to the beach for a week. The trip included highway driving averaging 75 mph, around town driving and about 150 miles of off road beach driving in baja mode with the top off. Average was 16.1 mpg which is MUCH better than the 12.2 mpg I am getting around town.

Celebrated 10k miles on the way home from Poker Flats Sunday.

I had just crawled up to a lifetime 13.1 mpg before hitting the trail, dropped to 13.0 and crawled back up to that driving 125 miles home at a largely downhill leisurely pace (69 is leisurely, I was being passed by virtually everyone on the road including a old Prius pulling a fifth wheel).

I found it interesting that my implied average speed is 27.5 mph (10062/366). I don’t commute and i’m off-road once or twice almost every week so I guess this is reasonable.

Cool, the lower your mpg the more Fun your having (off-road), but I'm having troubles picturing a prius pulling a 5th wheel....
