According to the EPA our Telluride is supposed to get an MPG rating of 20/26/23 (FWD) and 19/24/21 (AWD). How does this compare to real world numbers you guys are seeing? My biggest concern is how it might change over time. Especially during the break in process.
An average real world rating I found was 21 mpg's which when compared to those EPA numbers, raise some questions. That average rating comes from over 4,000 tracked miles. If we can compare our numbers and what's influencing them negatively/positively. I think it'll help to us gain some unique insight.
My expectations have been high due to the newly reworked 3.8-liter V6, specifically to deliver some of the best gas mileage from a big displacement 6 cylinder engine, the 8-speed transmission and slightly lighter curb weight.
