Taking my 2018 on its first road trip!
Crazy!
Bought my LC new in Sept. 2018, and it's never been out of town on the road. At all. A total of 2 freeway miles when I drove it new from the dealer to our temporary residence in Mesa AZ. Then on a flat bed home to Lake Havasu. Today with just over 2000 miles on the odometer, it still has some new car smell!
We've had to be out of town so much because of my wife's medical that could not be handled locally. She is doing quite well now.
Anyway, to Sedona this week. About 4 hours. Wondering about what mpg and range to expect?

But if one owns an LC and is concerned about fuel economy, they're not doing it right!

Drove about 600 miles bringing the car home from Florida last week. On board computer showed well over 26 mpg most of the time. Roads quite crowded but averaging about 75 mph in comfort mode, no ac
Specs say 21.7 gal tank, so 500+ mile range is reasonable
YMMV had to say that 🙂

Last time I had that sort of range was with my 1996 Suburban with an extra large 42+ gal gas tank @ 16 mpg.
