I bought my 2020 XLT at the end of January 2021 with 136 miles on it. I’m now at about 45,100. A habit I picked up from my dad is recording gas purchases in a flip-up notebook I keep in the glove box to track gas mileage. I finally got around to digitizing all of it (so far). It’s stock except for some simple upgrades like a catch can and a transmission dipstick. Still on the factory tires, but they’re about to be replaced. It’s towed a light trailer for maybe 50 miles, but plenty of stuff has been hauled in the bed. I use 4x4 in the snow a few days per year and on grassy hills. Mostly it’s a daily driver. I drive a lot on 55 mph highways and maybe like 20-30% of my time in town.
My lifetime average MPG is 22.2788 mpg. I’ve used 2019.725 gallons, not counting whatever the dealership put in it when I bought it. I’ve paid $6,253.96 for that gas, which works out to $3.10 per gallon. I used one tank of 93 octane when it was new and the rest is 87. I live in western Virginia (rolling hills and small mountains). Here are some graphs I made and a link to the google sheet I entered it into if people want to look at it. I thought it was neat to see 5 years of real world data.
The computer always overestimates fuel mileage by like 1-1.6 mpg depending on conditions. I have never reset trip 2, so however far back that will go says I’ve gotten 23.5 mpg.
