I've done about 2000 miles from new in my 2023 LCV and i'm getting 39 MPG overall. That's mainly town driving with a bit of motorway thrown in. Mainly driving one up or with two big dogs in the back.
240 miles today in the auto Gen 3. Sub-optimal conditions with torrential rain and a strong wind on the front left quarter for the outward leg, but no corresponding tailwind for the return leg. Also lots of long hard hills. 16 miles in the middle of all that were my SO's driving test (she passed). There's still at least 1/4 tank left. I'd guess at 38-39mpg, same as my old manual car.
I'm knackered though - it was nearly all on the M4 in foul conditions!
Fuel light came on this morning at 280 miles, so about 37.5mpg. Most of that was motorway but it's also had four town trips and some idling for a coolant change. So mpg for the auto is about the same as for my former manual Jimny, which never quite scraped 40mpg even on very economical A-road runs.
Having returned from a 'grand day out' I thought I'd check the latest mpg for my 2023 Jimmy LCV. Over 418 miles it has averaged 41.2 mpg that included Motorways, A Roads and quite a few miles on B Roads. It was all driven in a normal everyday driving style and had the fun of 20mph villages and over 200 miles of being monitored by average speed cameras. Dare say I could have got more mpg by coasting down hills or even just parking up and travelling by bus. The high winds and heavy rain certainly didn't help lower my running costs and over 400 miles in a day proved that the LCV Jimmy won't win any prizes for comfort
