2015 Jeep Cherokee 3.6L V6. We average around 10L/100km in summer, and so far 12.5L/100km in winter (when temp is < 4 degrees, 4WD automatically kicks in. No way to override). I've also gotten down to 6.8L/100km on highways. The fuel economy on such a heavy vehicle really impresses me.
Our previous vehicles never displayed fuel economy, so I was always oblivious. But now that I can see it, I do make a conscious effort to drive less aggressively.
I'm also curious what sort of sample the average is calculated with - t's definitely not a lifetime average since I see fluctuations far more rapidly than I'd expect. If the economy is 10L/100km after driving a year, it would take more than a half-hour drive at 9L/100km to make it go down to 9.9.
