Me too, close enough that i don't need to check it anymore. But I continue to record the actual mileage on my app.

I stuck a load of gear in the back along with a roof tent up top and blasted up to Kielder. At the end of that trip was getting 39.1 mpg. All the hilly country roads meant I was revving it way more than our usual 'driving miss daisy' driving styles.
I'm new to all things Jimny and 4wd cars (zero car knowledge to be truthful) so I have no idea if that's good or not.

I have done mainly local runs and my average speed shows as about 21 mph. I am hoping as the engine frees up and I start to use a few more revs.... not been over 4000 yet... it will start to return more mpg. Is this something others have found or is it just me??
I found the engine was very tight on delivery and fuel consumption improved significantly after a couple of thousand miles.

Recently I went to an electric ebike for my daily commute. One thing that electric transport shows really well is the drain these variations have on range, or in the Jimny world mpg. Riding locally on different routes and speeds gives me a range of 20 to 40 miles. Currently I get 20 miles out of a charge and travel 2.5 miles each way to work. In my last job I got 30 miles per charge but traveled 8 miles each way to work.
The interesting fact here is that I use the same 2.5 mile route at the start of the 8 mile journey, so the majority of the drain occurs during the short 2.5 mile section. Why this section ?
To me it looks no different to the rest of the Journey, but some difference is consuming more energy.
Slightly more hills than I give it credit for, different tarmac, I ride the section harder?
I don't know, but it does show that any slight variations in use will impact your mpg figure.
The futures slow with limited range, enjoy it while you can and stop worrying about mpg
