Just did 400 miles and got 25.3 average 70mphAlright fellas... love my GCL, but talk about bait and switch. With around 1K miles driven since purchase i'm getting around 16mpg... mostly dallas subarban driving where there are no real traffic back ups and 45mph speed limit.
I'm feeling a little duped by jeep. While i've not taken a hwy trip yet, I cant speak to highway mpg. Has anyone hit MPG numbers for GCL as advertised? I'm extremely disappointed.
I doubt that. You still have the same outside tire diameter, no? Add to that some typical weight savings with smaller wheels and you should get better MPG.That difference between wheel size I think is playing a 3-4 mpg down difference for us Laredo owners.
Solid numbers on the return trip. During purely highway driving, I'm usually in the 23+ MPG range. I'm at 3K miles right now, so hoping for a little continued improvement throughout the next 10K. But I'm pretty satisfied as-is.Just got back from our first trip in the WL. Went to my in-laws in Pa and we are in Md, 18.9 on the way up and 23.7 on the way back. 309miles each way
Wow, averaging over 30 MPG seems like a big right-tail outlier. I think my best highway average for a single trip was ~25+ MPG (cruise control @ 75 MPH)GCL limited V6. Normally get 20-23 mixed hwy/city, but much better on the highway. Last long road trip from Portland to Seattle I averaged 30.5 but I had to really try to drive efficiently.
I have gotten 27.4 at a steady 65mph on flat terrain with little wind. I have found that going 75 drops MPG by 3 MPG.Wow, averaging over 30 MPG seems like a big right-tail outlier. I think my best highway average for a single trip was ~25+ MPG (cruise control @ 75 MPH)
