I recently joined the over 500 mile club. Almost unfair to compare to any other car . . . we're talking about a truck with unheard of mileage.Just filled up after going a little over 500 miles on a tank. I live in a rural community and a lot of my driving is highway and interstate. The truck's computer was a little optimistic in terms of mpg. My hand calculations showed right at 39 mpg as opposed to the 41 in the attached pic. Either way, I'll take it. It's comparable or better than my Civic that I traded which was the main selling point for me.
I reached 1000 miles today on second tank filling up at 1/4 empty. . Filled up and hand calculate to 53 mpg compared to computer 55.5 I had the best weather, no extremes, so no ac or heater. I haven't reset anything on the mileage screen , that's all miles from the dealer. . Second photo after fill-up. I don't expect the numbers to be this high with winter arrival and more interstate travel. I could watch the number drop on the interstate.
My mileage looks a lot like yours; I too mostly travel hwys and interstates on my ~75 mile a day commute. On the weekends I do get more stop and go which helps the average.Just filled up after going a little over 500 miles on a tank.

Amazing! Do keep in mind that many have experienced better mileage as the truck breaks itself in.I reached 1000 miles today on second tank filling up at 1/4 empty. .

But the only way to know how many mile per tank you are getting is to run it down to 0 miles to empty EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
It'll get a lot of mpg sitting at the dealers waiting on a new fuel pump.But the only way to know how many mile per tank you are getting is to run it down to 0 miles to empty EVERY.SINGLE.TIME.
That has not been true in 25 years.
Drove my 1999 Trailblazer for 12 years, I’d say 99% of the time I ran the tank down to the “low fuel light” coming on. Never had a fuel pump go out.
That's interesting on the electric. Did you hear any difference when it made the switch?
