2025 Limited

I have a 2025 Limited (fwd) that I purchased a little over a week ago. It had 600mi on it at purchase, and has over 2,000 miles today. I reset the “lifetime” mpg to hopefully get a more accurate picture of “my” mpg. Obviously, most of those miles are highway miles. Even more so, they were the road trip kind of highway miles where I either wanted or really needed to be in a hurry to make it where I needed to be on time, like the middle of the week drive home from an out of state dealership, or a road trip to see Blink-182 that I left late for work to get started on. Needless to say, on the road trips I probably averaged around 80-85mph, often traveling faster for decent distances.

Anyway, I’m only averaging 44.6mpg, and that’s after using 2-3 days of work commute with cruise control set to 72mph in an effort to see how well it would do. With cruise at 72mph, it still only averaged 46.8mpg, which means I guess that’s probably the “peak” of what I’ll ever see with this one.

I guess my point being, I am definitely a little disappointed in this generation strictly from a fuel economy perspective. I feel like my Gen 4 was way more fuel efficient. When I traded it in a few years ago, my Gen 4 was showing 49.x on the fuel economy and it was also only ever really driven on the interstate at 80-85mph.

Is the Gen 5 just not meant for being as efficient on the highway? Or will it improve over time?

Overall, Gen 5 is definitely an improvement literally everywhere else (except the cargo area).
