2019 Model actual MPG way lower than expected

Lots of stop and go?

It’s also brand new...your mpg will increase after the first 5000 miles or so. It’s not going to double or anything, but it will improve.

Is this 4th gen specific? My brand new (had 1.4 miles on it) 2016 was getting 22 by the time I had 500 miles on it

From the manual regarding fuel efficiency:

The first 1000 mi (1,500 km) of driving is the break-in period of the engine. A more accurate measurement is obtained after 2000 mi (3,000 km).

Hmmm weird. Never happened to me. I get 22+ with my performance 93 tune now

Thanks everyone - yes mostly city driving - not NYC but city. I am going to track the miles at the next fill up - if it is actually getting those numbers then I will take it in to the service dept at the dealer -

Idle time, stop & go traffic and getting into the boost kill the gas mileage. If none of that applies and you are getting these unusual low mpg average after say 2000 miles, there is another issue your dealership should look for.

I try to feather it and still only does 18mpg on highway but once back to city it drop down to 14mpg. I have a black edition 2019. It really sucks

I was having the same problem mileagewise due to excessive hwy cruising speed. dropping it into cruise at 62mph i was heading toward 25mpg on 87 with ethanol.

I have been averaging over 20MPG calculated, and have never filled up before 500 miles when not towing. Anything less than 17MPG requires an explanation. I drive easy, though.

So YOU'RE the person I always get stuck behind that accelerates away from lights at 2mph and cruises on the freeway at 58mph. Haha

Congrats on your excellent gas mileage, that's darned impressive.
