Fuel Economy

[Don]

I didn't buy a TRX for fuel economy but curious what people are getting. Altitude may play a part as well as city vs highway this was suburbia in PA. (Sorry if this is a repeat but I couldn't find a thread)

I’m getting mid 12s. But I’ve been trying to drive like an old lady during the break in period. But that’s over now!

Picking mine up today but if I get an average of MORE than 9 mpg over the life of the truck I will be disappointed in myself and consider it a loss to the California Bunny Huggers

I actually ran out of gas on my way to get gas from the dealership on my test drive. It was my first time ever running out of gas. Truck got to the dealership Monday afternoon. It was snowing so I didn’t take it home til Tuesday night. Salesman didn’t want to put gas it in, gave me a gas card and insisted I be the first one to drive it. Only started it up a few times Monday probably only ran for less than 20 minutes. Gas station was less than 5 miles away. Babied it the whole way. Truck only had 14 miles when I got it. I’m not worried about the gas mileage but when gas light comes on you better get to a gas station.

Words to live by when planning a trip in the X .

If the gas light comes on in my helicopter, I've got 5 minutes of fuel remaining. Not a risk that I will ever take (seeing the gas light). Gonna give the TRX the same respect

First trip from the coast up to Yosemite and back. Includes puttering around in the Valley for two days. Over 500 miles, averaged exactly 14.0 mpg.

How exactly would one autorotate a TRX?
