#21 of 164 Actual MPG by scott613 Jul 11, 2007 (4:59 pm)
In mostly city driving my fwd Limited is getting about 16.5 mpg. Just did a 3600 mile road trip from South Florida to NY, NH and back and averaged 23.6 mpg doing about 75 on the interstates with AC on all the time. Max on 1 tank was 25.6 mpg.   Over a total of 5k miles I'm getting 20.9 mpg - 70% highway/30% city.   I find the trip computer to be fairly accurate, usually within .5 mpg of actual, sometimes high, sometimes low.

#22 of 164 First trip by mjb56 Jul 13, 2007 (1:56 pm)
The first leg of the trip was on rural roads through small towns, going between 55-60 mph. Avg. 26.0 mpg. Second leg on interstate going 65, no A/C. 25.5 mpg. Very pleased. Even better than the previous vehicle, a Chrysler T&C.

Replying to: mjb56 (Jul 13, 2007 1:56 pm) WOW! We just took a 400 mile round trip this weekend. 70% highway, 30% small town/ backroads. Trip comp. read 21.7 MPG, actual was 20.4MPG. We were using A/C, but I still can't imagine the mileage you got. Replies to this message: mjb56 (Jul 16, 2007 7:05 pm) arumage (Jul 18, 2007 1:37 pm)

Replying to: albanyjet (Jul 16, 2007 1:21 am) Just got done with another mini road trip with about the same mix as you're describing - 70/30 Hwy/City. Trip computer read 23.5 mpg. Now, admittedly, I've been driving very easy, trying to get good mileage. No A/C necessary. Light foot, good roads. 1 passenger, no luggage. But it can be done. I will be taking several other trips this week and will report. Next trip is all freeway, passing through one large city. I'm very curious to see what that brings.
#26 of 164 Current MPG by gooch Jul 17, 2007 (10:51 am)
My wife averages 18.5 - 19.0 MPG every fill-up w/ typical PHX driving (75% city, 25% highway) w/ the AC always on. Right after we got the vehicle, we took a family trip - 4 passengers (but the kids can probably count as one with their combined weight) and light luggage running 75 - 80 MPH. 24.5 MPG, which I am very happy about.   Still running strong with 2700 miles racked up so far.
#27 of 164 Today's trip by mjb56 Jul 17, 2007 (3:12 pm)
Return home trip. 149 mi. 5.6 gal used. 26.6 mpg. Trip computer showed 25.7. One passenger with me. This trip was 100% highway of which 90% was rural roads at speed limit or within 5 thereof. Needless to say, I'm extremely pleased. Today I ran the A/C and was expecting a significant drop. Tomorrow's trip is all freeway through a rush hour. Veracruz GLS AWD. And this should get better after break in? (Just passed 1K) Yikes, I can't wait. Replies to this message: mjb56 (Jul 18, 2007 6:03 pm) nrzjago (Jul 21, 2007 1:37 pm) steve_ (Jul 21, 2007 1:42 pm)

Replying to: albanyjet (Jul 16, 2007 1:21 am) If you notice, mjb56's speeds ranged between 55-65 mph. That's the mpg sweet spot of most vehicles.

Replying to: mjb56 (Jul 17, 2007 3:12 pm) Today's leg was all freeway through Milwaukee rush hour, round trip. 25.6 mpg. Again, all at speed limits. Some stop and go but not much. Had to run the A/C today. (Too hot.) But my little "break in" experiment has proven, to me, that you can get very good mileage with this vehicle if you treat it right. Next time I might just "put the coals to her" just to see the difference. Nontheless, I'm quite surprised at this. I wasn't expecting it.

#30 of 164 RECOMMENDED FUEL by nrzjago Jul 21, 2007 (1:37 pm)
Replying to: mjb56 (Jul 18, 2007 6:03 pm) We have had our Veracruz for under a week....the tank was full when we got it....NOW it is nearing time for me to fill 'er up....   I would like to know what fuel VC owners are using? I read the manual and the regular unleaded is high enough octane...but, should I buy the higher octane gas?   Thanx for ANY advice.   nrzjago Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 21, 2007 1:42 pm)
