I'm not to happy. I getting on avg. 13 mpg. I was getting better mileage prior to having the "clunk" fixed. I have 7500 miles on it and it will be a year old.

I got better MPG with my 05 Escalade then the GX but I love the GX more.

Actual calculated mpg at last fill-up was 14.8 with almost all stop-and-go driving, although dash computer said 15.9. I have gotten 19.8 mpg according to the computer while doing long trips of all-highway miles, but it seems like the computer is a bit optimistic.

Keep in mind that stop and go traffic in SC is not the same as say in NY or MA.

About 15 mpg with mixed driving. Which is great compared to the 11.8mpg the LR3 is currently demonstrating.

Normally in NY State, I averaged 17.4 mpg. On my trip out here to CA, I got as high as 19.3 mpg, and that was travelling at 75 mph with the A/C on. But that was on flat interstate roads in Iowa, Nebraska and some of Colorado. Usually I got the usual 17.5 mpg. Also as expected, some of the I-70 passes in Colorado took the expected hit in mpg.

I get 15 to 16 mpg going back and forth to work (mixed city & highway), and 20 to 22 on a 100% highway trip if I respect the speed limits. These are calcuated at fillups - the dash indicator is always a couple of mpg higher than I calculate.
