rab60bit88 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Since I had been making mostly short trips and I knew that all automobiles are less efficient in cold weather, I wasn't too worried when my average mpg dropped to 44.6 during the winter months. Still, I'm concerned that I'm only getting 44.8mpg, as my gas mileage has never been lower than 52mpg since I purchased the car in October 2022. I am really hoping that my 130-mile round trip in a few weeks will increase the average. Is this out of the ordinary? I don't think there are any gasoline leaks.

Starcar2022 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago After resetting the MPG statistics and giving it some time to settle, they should be back up to 50. I had a similar problem with my previous Tucson; it had been showing 42.9 for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOOLCAR Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Dash board data are only meant to be used as a guide; in order to acquire exact figures, one must calculate mpg fill up to fill up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMH757 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Get the mpg by doing the tank-to-tank test. Fill up the tank, hit the road, and then fill it up again after a decent amount of miles driven to get a more accurate picture of your actual mpg. The fuel economy of my previous hybrid vehicle, the 2020, ranged from the mid 20s to a peak of 175 mpg. The average fuel economy for the 16,400 miles covered by Ave is 54mPG.

rab60bit88 Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago I will give the reset a shot. This level of precision shouldn't be a concern, though; I have knowledge of the overflowing test from my time as editor of a motorhome magazine. It casts suspicion on the instrumentation, which ought to deliver sufficient precision, else it serves no use. In a few weeks, I will provide an update.

MDMH757 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Do you mean the total amount or the amount per trip? The second one updates automatically based on the number of miles driven since reset, but the third one takes a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab60bit88 Posted 11 hours ago Author Share Posted 11 hours ago Because it has been staring me down from the main window the whole time, I'm going to assume it's the accumulated figure. But I have a hard time figuring out where things are on the Niro control panel because it is so complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
