Several people have asked, and while fuel consumption depends on a lot of factors. We took a little road trip, here is photo of the lie-o-meter at the end.

This a 2012 SCAB 6.5' box 4x4, 5.0 with 3.55 axles, two adults and a dog, about 400 lbs total, tonneau cover, and bed rug.



The average speed was just under 90 km/hr, but most was highway with CC set at 100-110. Three times it was run up to 140, and there were about six stops,one for lunch.

The run started with warm engine and transmission.

The average was 21.57 mpg US, or 25.91 mpg Imp.

The best I have seen on the meter is 10.0.

I think the lie-o-meter is low by about 2-3%.

I get roughly the same on the freeway doing 65 on flat ground. Same engine, gearing and drive train. 15 city, 22 hwy, and 18.5 combined.

I've got 5 k on what you call the lie o meter..maybe some are not right..Mine is always dead nuts on..Every tank I check it, and it's with 2 tenths of a gallon each and every fill up...I don't bother with manual calculated any more

Mine is just about as accurate. Close enough that I think the discrepancy is due to me fueling it (and the handle clicking off at slightly different times) than its own calculations. I track every tank on an app on my phone, and whenever I check it against the display, it has been w/in .3. Close enough for me.

My trip meter readings and the live average display are almost exactly the same. On a 2400 mile RT to NC a few weeks ago I got an average of 19.5 and that included about 200 miles of in town and 4x4 driving in deep sand.

Make sure you reset it at each fuel up. I found it's more accurate this way.
