Hey Scotty!
I took your advice, sold my Chevy and got a great deal on a new 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid! It's supposed to get at least 52 MPG, and I read articles online where people were getting as much as 60 MPG! However, I can't manage to average more than 45 MPG average from a tank. I've been driving like a grandma and will only use heat and fan, no AC, trying my best to get the highest fuel economy possible. I live in SC which is around 40-55 degrees outside right now. I put around 800 miles on it so far most of it on flat highways, no faster than 85 MPH. I'm supposed to get around 600 miles on a tank but I can't manage to get more than 500 without needing to fill up. What am I doing wrong??
{black}:afraid: You mean the marketing lied?? Impossible!
If you want to get the most, you should not drive faster than 65 mph.

good article! think its worth trying out in SUV?
Your car is brand new! Give it some time.. Besides cold weather negatively affects fuel economy.
Just enjoy the car & check the fuel economy again, after you cross 5,000 miles on the odometer, after your oil change & the engine has run in.
I still wouldn't complain about the milage you're getting... Besides, scotty has said , a few times.. you never get the gas milage they say you will. Pretty much ever, it's a blown up estimate , in the best of driving conditions...you probably won't get 52 to 60 on a daily basis..you won't get it at all going 85... Your motor is working more at that speed, and uses more gas, working harx
I have NEVER achieved the advertised fuel economy for my cars. They're just not realistic...it's theoretical.
