So...I have just over 250 miles on my Lariat 4x4 and thought I would give a mileage run down for those interested.
First 50 miles was pathetic, didn't hit 20 mpg, I was a bit concerned. Don't judge it by that first trip.
After fifty miles was like some kind of break through, I started seeing the gauge regularity over 30 mpg and the average steadily picking up.
By 150 miles I was averaging 22.1. I reset my trip gauge.
Next 100 miles put me at 26.2 average, it seems to keep climbing.
Mind you I drive conservatively. I typically have it in sport mode as I like to get to speed at a decent rate, but don't mash on it. After I am at speed I typically hang there.
I also live in the country and do limited inner city driving, but the 250 is about a 35/65 city/hwy mix.
First 10 miles can be a bit low, but it seems to warm up and really improve after that, looking forward to putting a few long trips on it, really I have only done about 35 mi max.
Super quiet in the cabin and out considering it's a diesel. Ride is nice and there is plenty of pickup if you want it.
Now I need to get my boat behind it and see how she does. Was trying to break in some easy miles on it first.
