one year impression

Excellent review. I'm curious about the fuel efficiency as well. I noticed a significant improvement in my Journey especially after 8,000 kilometers. If this is common, I hope this would relieve some of the anxiety for those who are having high fuel usage early on. I can't understand how there can be such a big difference for some Journeys compared to others.

I didn't mention the fuel efficiency as it hasn't been an issue. I just basically tracked the fuel efficiency for the first six months, and I was about the same as most people have been getting on this forum. I don't get obsessed with tracking mileage, if I was I probably would have bought a hybrid.

As for improvement in mileage once the vehicle has been broken in, I have noticed that the EVIC reading goes down much quicker now even when I do short trips on the highway. The last time I looked, I was at a high of 13L/100km (all city driving), and on short trip of 40 km on the freeway, the EVIC had dropped to 11.2/km. During break in period, I would probably have to drive 60/70 km to see that type of drop.
