Hi, My name is Ronan, and I'm a data analysis freak.... phew got that off my chest:laugh:
Driving background:
So, starting with my 07' GP GXP I tracked my fuel mileage to a 'T'. Last year I created a spreadsheet with a bunch of data points, calculations, and graphs to track my 14' FuSE... I ended with a 26.46 MPG average over 3 years. My driving style is cruise control on the highways when I can and spirited driving in the city.
I'm doing the same thing with our 16' Sierra and now the 17FuSpo. I'm currently at 2634.8 miles logged and have an average MPG of 22.38. The published numbers are 17/20/26, so my 22.38 falls 2.38 MPG above the combined rating. I'll be honest and say that the I have not gone to extensive lengths to conserve fuel so far, as I am enjoying the car.
So far, considering my commute mileage is 90% highway (some horrible stop and go thought), I am fairly pleased with the fuel economy. I will likely spend some time over the next few months toning down the spirited driving to see if I can bump the numbers a bit and stretch my fuel a little longer.
What are others experiencing?
