Gas Mileage on FXs
- Thread starter robb<35>
- Start date
I know right? Doesn't seem right. I will do a test run on the same route driving heavily and then like miss Daisy.
Mine is 18.5-20
Mine is about the same, Lance. Heavy foot (and butt) adds to my sorrows.
Hybrid my ass :vader:

I just got back from a 1000 mile road trip and the FX got ~22 mpg at 80+mph average. This car has the biggest discrepancy between city and highway of any car I've ever owned. I'm averaging ~12 mpg daily driving in the city. Previous cars were more like 16/23 or so. The weight and AWD on mine must make a huge difference in stop and go.
I am getting on average 18mpg mixed driving highway/city. Straight highway 22mpg. In winter I get 14.7mpg mixed driving. I think if I had to do all city driving in winter I would not own this car. Gas would be killing me. I am contemplating selling it this summer and getting something more fuel efficient even now

Hey all - I've got a new QX70S RWD and have noticed huge discrepancies in my MPG. I guess others have the same experience in the large difference between city and highway on these cars, it's wild!
1) Don't do much straight city driving, it's always a mix. Right now across 4 tanks I'm averaging 19.9 and on the latest tank, 18.3. I seem to always be in the 17.5-19mpg range through the course of normal mix driving.
2) On the highway at 75-80 if I reset the trip meter before getting on, I can get her up to a pretty steady 24-25mpg. I like this.
3) These #s are all based on the computer readout from the HUD or the computer. When I do my own math, I am ALWAYS getting .5-1.5mpg LESS than what the computer says. My own math by the way is my trip meter/# of gallons pumped. I am religious about resetting the trip meter when I fill up. For example, last time my HUD mpg (which i reset everytime i fill up) read 18.7 mpg. Meanwhile I drove 263.4 miles and pumped 15.033 gallons in, yielding a true MPG of 17.52. for the computer to lie to me about 1.3mpg seems like a big deal.
Last point - when will carmakers get to a point of just telling me how much fuel is left, straight up? I know the car calculates it so why not give me a reading that says I have 5.2 gallons remaining? To me this is much more useful than a silly "range" calculation which fluctuates so much based on driving habits that it's essentially useless.

Since Oct 18, 2014 calculated average 18.34 mpg over 13.946 miles and 761 gallons. Pretty much in the middle i guess, my FX35 is my daily drive, so city, highway and other roads included. Speeds up to 90 mph; i like to drive uptemp

Summer MPG : 22.3 (OEM rim 21")
Winter MPG : 17.6 (18" rim)
Don't know if it's smaller wheel size, or snow/ice that is the problem :P

Worst 8.7 mpg (all city driving)
Best 20.2 mpg (mostly hwy driving, I-95 over 250 miles)
I got the 45 because of the V8--you don't see many of them. I knew what the mpg was before I got it (thanks to the forum!)
There was the one person who said that you have a baby QX56! :rotfl::rotfl:

Have averaged about 17mpg in the 50 under mixed conditions. I reset the MPG computer every oil change and has stayed pretty steady.
