So I do the math.
I go by my trip mileage ÷ Gallons to fill up = avg mpg
I need to put gas today, the gas light came on. I'll post my exact mileage later today.
And yes, I think I need to put the original filter back in.....for science. Lol

Ok, so I just put gas. Here are the results.
Trip total 238.4 miles
Gas filled up 9.6 gallons
Average MPG 24.7
As you can see, the computer says otherwise.

I am traveling 90% highway. But there is construction. Regardless mileage should be in the 30s in city as per the sticker. And even higher on the hwy.Unless you are in truly awful stoplight-to-stoplight traffic, it shouldn't be as low as you're getting, especially with the CVT. According to the onboard computer, I got about 30 MPG on my city commute in DC, and that's on a 2019 with the old 6-speed automatic. My partner, however, only gets about 23 MPG on his shorter city commute, so it's not impossible!
So, embarrassed to say but must admit. My dumb a$$ never checked the air intake filter. It's the original drop in air filter, I never changed it to a k&n drop in filter. I could have sworn that I did, I was like 99.9% I did. I do it to all my cars. First thing I do is cold air intake, muffler or full exhaust change. Why....idk.... because race car...right???...
Anyways, I had ordered the filter from the dealership. As soon as I get it I go to change it out in the dealership parking lot. I opened the air intake where the filter goes and I'm like.....wait....what?!? I take the filter back to the parts sales guy. Said I wanted to return it because that wasn't the issue. He laughed, I laughed in embarrassment and walked to service to schedule a test for the car that will determine what is actually going on with it. Guy who does the testing wasn't their to say if he would be able to this week so have to wait for a callback.
Last gas tank fill up was last week and my average MPG was 27 as per the on board computer. But my trip (9.7miles)avg mpg was 34.
My actual combined avg mpg was 24.6
Filled up with 9.6 gallons and the total mileage it gave me was 236.2 miles.
My tire pressure is at 33psi as per the recommendation on the label on the door.
Is there something that I'm missing?
What do you run your tire pressure at?
My oil is great and not needing to top off or anything like that. Seems like all the other fluids are good too.
