REAL MPG PLEASE

I would like to know what people are getting in a 2011 CC LB fx4x4 in Southern California. Sorry this limits the allot of people but I hear millage claims of 22 mpg. I want to hear about how many miles you get on a full tank, not just one hwy run with a tail wind on flat ground. If the mileage really is 22 MPG for my configuration I will start the process to get one.

The Fuel in SoCal sucks and it simply is not flat and it has allot of traffic on it. That is why I'm asking for these people in Southern California. I have read the MPG thread it it did not give me the information I require.

I also tow a 10k trailer and would love to know what you get when you tow.

If you're looking for gas or diesel would be good info to post.

I drive from the north end of Winchester Road to the south end 5 days a week for work. I average 16.2 mpg. I made a Las Vegas trip last July and got 22.8 mpg. I have a 30 foot Weekend Warrior and I get 12.6 mpg while towing my toys round trip from Hemet to the desert and back.

In case you have trouble reading the cluster >>> my car averaged 99.9 mpg at 81 mph on 10 miles distance.
What the cluster is not showing is that I-80 westbound close to Salt Lake City has 10 miles long steep grade where I had to step occasionally on brakes to keep the car at 81 mph going on NEUTRAL.
Meaning just mpg without additional details means a squat.
I am pretty sure I can get 22 mpg on my 99 model if I go below 50 mph. Not likely I will ever try. I was making 10 mpg driving it at 75 mph, now I happy with 14 mpg at 65 mph.
Good luck on your research.
