I've been pretty impressed with the fuel economy in the Hybrid QX60 BUT only when the a/c or heat is not being ran. I've mentioned in other threads already how Infiniti on the next generation could improve upon this, but for now I wanted to share my new best MPG going down to Atlantic City yesterday.
I reset the trip computer screen a few blocks from my house (I forgot to do it in the driveway) so the discrepancy between the two totals was because of the engine still always running due to warm up. Now I did this trip with no heat, but it was in the upper 40's out and I find on the highway with the vent passing warm air into the cabin, it's enough to not need heat actually on at that temp. Trust me, if I'm cold, I run the heat before caring about my mpg's lol. Cruise was set at 65mph once on the NJ Parkway for the whole trip. Also, if you see on the 'best' screen my old best was 31.1 mpg, which was on a different trip to Atlantic City. While there are many variables that can account for only a .5 mpg increase, I hope with more mileage put on for break in it continues to improve a bit more.
Still, I found 31.6 mpg for the whole trip going there including engine warm up impressive for a vehicle of this size.
So, what's everyone else's personal best in their Hybrid QX60? Or heck, non hybrid models, I'd still like to hear your bests as well!
