Does anyone actually get the posted 22/24 mpg?

I'm clocking in at 17.2 mpg. 700 miles on ODM, I drive like a grandma, I have only put in premium gas, stock wheels, in ECO mode 100% of the time. What gives???? I should be at minimum getting 22 mpg. I wouldn't really care all that much except the tank is tiny...15 gallons. I only get a range of 280 miles per fill.
My mileage is getting better, I’m averaging 22.7 all around. I drive in sport mode around town and normal mode on the freeway.
 
I get reliably 20-24. I commute about 60mi/day mostly freeway but then hills through the city that kills my highway number.

ECO mode. Premium Fuel. Just hit 2,800 miles on the ODO.

Mid-atlantic storm today had be at 20.
 
I have never achieved the posted mpg in ANY vehicle I’ve ever owned, as I learned to drive in NJ/NY metro area where relaxed acceleration was not the norm.
 
15 mpg... had it a week...

Premium??? Regular???

is there a definitive real answer on that yet?

Did you reset the "total average mpg" yet? If not, that average is including a lot of idling time before you got the keys. Reset it.

(Having said that, my latest couple tanks have only been 14-15mpg. Winter + mostly short drives = oof )
 
I’m getting 17 mpg very consistently. I did put slightly larger tires on that are heavier than stock tires and throwing off the odometer (larger circumference).
We just take my wife’s Outback for any longer trips. The Subaru can get 36-38 mpg.
The LC was going to be my travel adventure wagon but the range on a tank is only 260 miles so its mostly going to be the grocery store/hardware store wagon.
 
I dunno how much difference it makes... but I also had the Falken Wildpeak tires installed... not sure how much larger/heavier they are than the stock Street Tires... but for this vehicle, it is a Must Have!!
I expect these tires don't have a favorable impact on MPG.
