I can indeed get 28mpg, just not at 75mphI am lucky my 2023 turbo with 4000 miles gets 28-29mpg. I would be disappointed with 23mpg too

Thank you! This is very helpful!You can try renting a torque wrench if you don't think you'll be using it often. Some home improvement stores offer tool rental, so you can call them up to see if they have a torque wrench to rent - you'll want one that has a 3/8" or 1/4" drive.
The spark plug torque spec is 14 lb-ft (168 in-lb) or 18.98 N-m.
Here's a guide for the spark plug replacement.

Where do you stay at OB?This past week I rented a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica with a 3.6 V6. With 2 adults, 2 teenagers, and a whole lot of crap, took our yearly trip to the Outer Banks, NC, from Pa. for the week and then some. Gas mileage average was 31 mpg highway driving!! I can't imagine the CX5 not getting at least this on the highway!!
We always stay at the village of Buxton down on Hatteras.Where do you stay at OB?
I don't think 75 mph is a reasonable speed to look for good gas mileage.Some can, some cant reach 31 at 75mph
not everybody can is the conclusion
Only been down to Hatteras and Ocracroke Island once. We've stayed at Corolla before and now we stay at Sanderling in Duck. Nice area.We always stay at the village of Buxton down on Hatteras.
Where I live if you drive under 75-80mph you will be run over by old ladies on their way to church. speed limits are 75-80mph and most drive at least 10 over. Semi trucks drive at least 70-75mph and will run right up on you if you don't drive at least 75.I don't think 75 mph is a reasonable speed to look for good gas mileage.
I can understand that, but you're still not going to get good gas mileage at that speed.Where I live if you drive under 75-80mph you will be run over by old ladies on their way to church. speed limits are 75-80mph and most drive at least 10 over.

We usually go late spring to avoid the summer rates which can be up to $1000 a week more, we avoid late summer because of hurricane season, got kicked out of there once because of evacuation orders. Beautiful part of North Carolina but the ocean can get very angry there.Only been down to Hatteras and Ocracroke Island once. We've stayed at Corolla before and now we stay at Sanderling in Duck.

We've been going couple times a year, usually late Spring and late Summer. Less crowds, lower rental cost.
I dunno i thought 31mpg for a turbo was pretty good.I can understand that, but you're still not going to get good gas mileage at that speed.

It is. I'm just saying that 75 mph isn't usually where one gets good gas mileage. If you're hitting 31 at 75 it's pretty damn good. Mine usually drops off to the mid 20s if I'm doing speeds constantly over 70.I dunno i thought 31mpg for a turbo was pretty good.

pacifica has a 9 speed auto and is probably geared more like a car than an SUV. what were the RPMs at cruising speed?This past week I rented a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica with a 3.6 V6.
