My day two reservation finally came in June 16. I gave it to my missus and she is now a happy camper. Rides great and the mileage isn't too bad. I filled up in Lewisburg WV, drove the mountains north to Elkins, then across Rt 50, then Rt 18 to the OH valley. I was milking it for mileage and it showed 24.4. Her overall since she picked it up is in the pick below. 2.7L Big Bend, mid package.

NICE! My Badlands order is the same color. Me and the wife got sick of waiting for our order, so I picked up a Black Diamond for my wife and she loves it! Drives it with a smile everday!. Cant believe the mileage you got! We are averaging around 19mpg with ours, and we have the 2.3L

Even though it's hills and mountains, it's pretty much only been on two lane highways. My son was driving the two hours we were on interstate but I would imagine it would drop a bit. We also have very little city driving so that helps.

"Milking it for mileage" is what I did not do, picked it up with 16 miles on it and headed down the Mass Pike for a hour at a steady 95 mph (day one)
Jack rabbit starts, @ 10 mph over posted speed constantly, Stop and go- Sport mode, ect, it started at 17 mpg, after 1000 miles, it's up to 22.4 mpg and still climbing... Big Bend I-4 auto...
Was told be dealer, Beat it, break it, under warranty...
