Im able to get well over 500 miles with my 23 gal tank. Sometimes i can do over 600 miles and thats not runnin the mte to 0 either.

You obviously weren't doing that on I-95. Someone would be running you off the road. ;)

Just got back from a 2500 mile “break-in” road trip from SC to Canada and back in my new ‘19 Limited RWD. Indicated 24.4 for the trip. Actual 23.0 mpg on regular gas. Speeds were generally posted limit plus 5. My 2005 Armada made the same trip at 17.2 mpg, so I’m happy. I think I could have done even better without using adaptive cruise. It tends to be pretty aggressive getting back up to speed resulting in unnecessary downshifts. ECO mode probably would have helped with that.

You need to shut the cruise off if you want max MPG. The cruise downshifts, slams on the brakes and wastes fuel when a person with a good right foot would coast and save fuel...
