Only getting 17mpg

[HarvLC]

Towed a full 5x8 U-Haul trailer from AL to NC. Averaged over 19mpg at 70mph in tow/haul mode. I was pleased.

Granted, it wasn’t an overly heavy load (maybe 2000lbs) and there was no significant elevation change, but the LC pulled it effortlessly and I probably could have operated in normal or eco modes in order to drop the revs a bit.

I’m 17-18 fair amount city drive , stock 20 inch and 100 degree plus outside of Sacramento CA, I don’t think the AC has been off since I got the car , now at 1000 miles .

I’m Sac area. We’ve had ours since mid September and I’ve yet to see a single LC. I just did a search on the forum just to see if Sac gets any mentions. I think you and one other person.

Hopefully your mpg is ticking up by now.

I had the dealer put on BFG KO2's before I picked up my Land Cruiser FE. They are the same size as the stock (265 70 R18) but I am only getting 17mpg. I have around 2500 miles now and it has not changed. Any one else having the same issue?

Same tires, same mpg for me. 20 only on highway at 60.

I now have 7840 kms on my stock 1958 - my gas consumption steadily improved until about 4000kms & I now manage in eco mode with 91 octane & a mix of city / country/ highway to get an average 9.2L / 100km (25.57 miles per US gallon) Just did a trip today of 340km each way on rural highway trying to hold an average speed of 94km or 58.04 MPH (speed limit 80). on the way there I got 9.2L / 100km amd on the return 8.0L/100km (29.4 miles per gallon). The difference for the return trip was I filled with a different brand of gas than I normally use & the air temperature was slightly cooler @ 17C on the return vs 19C on the way there - speed was about the same

Note to self. No KO2’s for Miss Daisy.. currently getting 24+ mpg, mixed city and two lane highway driving, eco mode. (ethanol free 93 octane) with stock Michelins (33 psi) still on her. That will drop ~2-2.5 mpg when I start using E10 fuel, once I am totally moved out of Florida and up in NC, where I belong.

Just double checked my trip computer reported mileage on my last 31 mile trip with my BFG KO3s (265/70R18 124S) and averaged exactly 20mpg. The route was a combination of city streets (35mph), state highways (55mph & 65mph), county roads (45mph), and rural paved roads (25mph). My highway and county road speeds probably averaged 5mph higher than the posted limits. The roads/terrain on this trip were very curvy and undulating. I was in NORMAL driving mode for the entire trip.

Well I'm only getting 14.3 at 88 mph.
The whole problem seems to be an an improperly installed flux capacitor.
I was promised 200 mph per gallon with the flux capacitor. I paid 80 K for the flux capacitor. The rest of the vehicle was on the house.
FYI. Top end speed is 108, so I heard.
