I bought my 2024 Fieldmaster Edition in March of this year. I had braced myself for poor fuel economy. I have had many 4x4 vehicles over the years so it comes with the territory. I'm currently used to it as I also have a 2017 F-250 Super Duty that gets around 11mpg. I don't drive much, so it's never really been a big deal. For example, my F-250 has around 46k miles on it and my 2016 Range Rover had about 40k on it when I got the Grenadier. That said, I find myself looking for excuses to drive it and have put a few more miles on it now than I would normally.
I'll get to the point. I work in IT services and I generally do not commute these days. I was forced to spend two weeks driving about 25 miles each way across Portland, Or. and out to Beaverton, Or. I braced myself for constant fuel ups and was pleasantly surprised that my nominal average was around 19mpg during this time. I'm including a photo from my personal best on a day when there was little traffic. In fact, since I have had it, my average mileage is somewhere in the mid-18mpg range.
The Grenadier gets better mileage than my Jeep Wrangler ever did (12-14mpg) and better than my LR3 or my LR4 (17mpg). The Range Rover did beat it out, but I expected that.
