I got a 2023 turbo CX5 top of line. They advertised the average mpg is between 24 city 27 highway. I drive to work everyday and the route is 95% highway, average speed of 55mph and I’m hitting on average 21.5 mpg within 8,700 miles.

Does anyone else have the same issue? Or would y’all say I have a faulty car? Tks

    You could.

    Run a radar detector, laser jammer, Waze for backup, company sponsored lawyer service on retainer, know the techniques for leap frogging and letting the person a mile down the road trigger any speed traps, mind your tire conditions and pressure, get a job with an early shift so you leave when no one else is on the road, and have a very very understanding wife.

    But… that still doesn’t explain your terrible gas mileage. Have you tried going out on a weekend, find a long stretch of interstate, and set the cruise control at exactly 65mph for 1 hour, to see what your MPG’s are?

      Hehehe damn, I just need to change my entire life, but would be worth it! And no, I’ll have my first long trip on the 19th and will check the mileage after that
