Count on it getting worse, unless you drive like a... well... very gingerly. I average 9.2 - 9.4 overall. That includes 11 and change on the open road.
You bought it. Now feed it!

Obviously I didn't buy it for the great gas mileage and I'll be driving it for a while no matter what. My dealer is installing a chip tomorrow that is "supposed" to increase power which could translate to increased mileage if I can continue with the "ginger" driving I'm currently doing with it since it is still in the break in period (if that even exists). My vet swears he drove one with this chip that gave him 14.9 mpg on the open road. We will see if it is as the testimonials claim.
When I finish this message, I am headed home which will be a 60 mile open road trip. I'll reset the AVG ECON and see what it gets on the way home and have something to compare it to after the chip is installed.
Either way, this is GREAT FUN! The sales guy is supposed to introduce me to offroading tomorrow on their demo track. I don't expect a major thrill, just a teaser.
