25 XSE AWD Commute MPG After 800+ odo miles
Currently approaching 800+ miles on the odo, after the 500-600 miles break in period specified in the manual, and towards the last 50 estimated miles on my first fill up tank of gas... What are people's MPG looking like after break in? I'm mainly looking for XSE AWD for comparables, but still interested in seeing what other trims are at...
I've been able to get over 60 mpg in eco mode on my daily commutes in the XSE AWD with wheel package lately after getting over 600-700 miles on the odo (those first 500 miles I was struggling to get over 40 even in eco). Not sure how I've been able to do it, besides keeping the "tach" under half tick on the eco meter the whole time while in eco driving mode and also trying to calculate the best distance for coasting into stop lights/signs. I can get most anywhere I need to withon 2.5 miles of my home (work, friends, family, downtown, most restaurants/groceries), and one of the pics was for an ~8 mile trip halfway across town last night in light traffic. Last picture is from this morning trip in traffic back from Dr. Appointment.
I'm sure people are going to say 2-5 mile trips aren't enough for realistic performance, but if that's all I'm doing, then wouldn't it be accurate for my use case? If so, I never even dreamed I'd have broken above 45mpg in this setup due to what others were saying about the xse awd online. Insane coming from a 18 mpg 😅
