RicketyRick Posted October 16, 2025 Share Posted October 16, 2025 Greetings everyone, I possessed the vehicle for almost three weeks and have accrued around 700 miles. I needed to refuel approximately three times, and upon checking our miles per gallon, we are averaging around 16 to 17 mpg. The range following a refuelling indicates between 200 and 225 miles. I have observed posts regarding the recalls; however, upon consulting the dealer, they confirmed that there are no recalls associated with my VIN. The other peculiar aspect is the quantity of fuel remaining when the tank is indicated as empty. Approximately 14 to 15 gallons will be required for an 18.5-gallon tank. Is anyone else experiencing a similar mileage issue, and what actions did you take to resolve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypabl Posted October 16, 2025 Share Posted October 16, 2025 Which fuel grade are you utilising? Are you manually calculating mileage or utilising the panel display to obtain your figures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicketyRick Posted October 16, 2025 Author Share Posted October 16, 2025 According to the user manual, utilising 87 octane is sufficient for the 280 hp model, hence premium fuel is unnecessary. I have verified the display using manual calculations, and the results appear to be quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypabl Posted October 16, 2025 Share Posted October 16, 2025 I was not enquiring primarily about the premium versus normal distinction; rather, I was curious if you are utilising unleaded 88/E15 fuel. I suggest tactfully introducing the concept of the significant recall over a defective fuel tank sending unit to the dealer and observing the direction of the ensuing dialogue.

RicketyRick Posted October 16, 2025 Author Share Posted October 16, 2025 Thank you. I observed discussions regarding this matter, but I anticipated it would not be a significant issue. We shall visit the dealer on Thursday for diagnostics to ascertain their assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rauman Posted October 16, 2025 Share Posted October 16, 2025 I had the same problem; when the tank is filled, it indicates just 260 miles. After driving just 11 miles, it decreased to 210 miles. The dealer has essentially stated, "accept the situation." I completed the recall, although it yielded no results. I am contemplating legal action for fraudulent advertising.

RicketyRick Posted October 16, 2025 Author Share Posted October 16, 2025 Refuelled yesterday, displaying 330 miles; after driving 2 miles, it decreased to 300 miles. It appears to be pretty inaccurate. We will await the dealer's response. It indicated a range exceeding 200 miles on a full tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
