do you happen to have a premium or Premium +??
While that range and Mpg is impressive and is a feat on it's own, I don't think it's correct. The smaller 20's are the culprit.

19.1 after 500 miles. 40/60 city highway. I'm happy. Was expecting the worst.

I have a Premium. Plain premium.
Downhill from Park City to Salt Lake City? What speeds were you driving?

I drive about 60 miles each way to work, 3 days a week. I leave at 5:45am to miss all the traffic and I bolt at 4:30 to miss the 5pm crunch. I take 3 major highways. My house is literally on 1 and my office is on another. No lights, no stops, no traffic. I am 68 with cruise, right lane and while the cruise says 68, the speedo always says 67 and Waze says 64 or 65. FLAT FLAT FLAT with slight grades and long down slopes. I am 53 and drive like a female 85 year old. I sit back, lean my head, listen to Howard Stern and just enjoy the ride. Do I have the non-frequent a-hole cut me off and brake check me because I am driving the speed limit on a 3 lane road, I do. Do I "sometimes" race up and pay them back, sometimes...but not often. 3 highways. Route 17 in NY to the NYS Thruway, to 287 into Jersey.
I have been told there is another 60 to 70 in the tank after the countdown hit's 0 so I am going to track 50 miles after 0 and BE CLOSE to a gas station. And will report back here.
Also, I have a set of OT wheels and a set of Lux + wheels so it will be interesting to see when I get the itch to have different wheels what that does to the MPG's.

It's like the perfect storm of hyper-mileage in a GX550.
Was that all down hill and in neutral
That's amazing. I don't think I will ever see 300 again. Sitting at 275 right now and probably going down.
265. 99% city. 5mi round trip commute 4 days a week. 8 stop lights & 2 stop signs one way. Comfort or Sport mode. SoFla been hot so running rich already.
