Anyone have some real world mpg they’d like to share?

I got 21.5 mpg on the highway averaging between 75 and 80mph this past week.

I am getting around 15-16 on mix driving (local and highways). Wish tank could hold 22-25 gallons.

Really disappointing. I’ve heard a few people say similar. Was really hoping to see the 20 combined they are advertising. My wife’s Lexus hybrid is nearly spot on their estimates.

Let me share something I am observing. I now have about 1,500 miles on my Overtrail. I have observed the hybrid taking over more frequently. Going down a hill, the engine turns off and the hybrid manages it all, going under 20 mph, the same. The hybrid has become more active over time. My guess is that the car goes through a calibration/optimization process.

That's interesting, so hopefully the mileage gets a bit better over time.

Currently at 600miles driving 50% city and 50% highway. Getting around 12.5 mpg. Was about to go to the dealership before reading the comments here. I’ve been trying the different drive modes to see if anything made mpg better. Going to wait until 1K and reset the mpg trip. I’m assuming it’s a breaking in calibration with so few mile on both engine and battery. Also, the hybrid battery has never reached a full charge as far as I can tell. Really hoping it improves. Disappointed with the gas tank size and range. Previous suv I would get 525 miles per fill up. Overtrail is about 230 mile range with fill up.

I have observed that the battery wants to stay charged in the 40-70% range. This allows it to both absorb and discharge energy as needed. When I have taken it to 100% by for example decending down a mountain for a few miles. the car jumps to then using the battery a lot to consume the saved energy. To get optimum milage, resist the urge to use the incredible power at your disposal by not accelerating too fast.
