I finally achieved the elusive 25+mpg... and got over 400 miles out of one tank!

As am I! I am an old timer and drive close to the speed limit here in Washington. I never have gotten better than 23.4 on premium or regular, doesn’t seem to make much difference. Thank you for giving me some hope!
When I first picked up my LC, I was getting 20.8 - 21mpg

After changing out the tires, I have been steady at 20.2 MPG for 3 months now, it never changes.

I am in flat as a pancake Florida, with average temps in 70s (this time of year) I drove at or close to the speed limit (depending on the road, 60, 65 or 70mph) and I use Costco Premium because around my neck of the woods, sand in gas station tanks is a real thing.

Costco does such volume and I have watched them maintain their pumps including changing out the pumps filters, so I know the gas is clean, plus Costco Premium is close to the price that regular gas stations are charging for Regular.
 
I am averaging 24.57 miles per gallon Most city driven. Thats 6.5 per Km/L. I am not even close to what was original given document on the specs for FE here in Dubai. (10.6 Km/L Per x3.75US Gallon=30+ km

I was averaging 22-23MPG when I first got it... I live in Denver.

I then upgraded with a Westcott kit, new method wheels and Falcon Wild Peak tires (close to 34 inch) it looks mean, amazing in the snow...but I get 17.2 MPG's now and I became a rewards member at the gas station. Love this SUV, BUT...they should have made the gas tank bigger...major issue for lot's of owners who modified.

Can't disagree with the gas tank size at all... coming from my '17 Tacoma, even with the better fuel mileage of the LC; the smaller tank and premium fuel cost means I'm spending nearly the same per month on fuel ups.
