How to get advertised MPG?
I've been driving our new Hybrid MAX for almost 2 weeks now and am not getting anywhere near the advertised MPG. Now, my drives have mostly been short drives around town, school dropoff, etc. Hardly any highway. We've put like 300 miles on the car so far and I'm struggling to get above 21 mpg.
Now, this is my first hybrid so maybe my driving style needs to change a bit? I don't have a lead food. I'm in Normal drive mode. I try to stay in the "eco" range on the tach, between charge and power, and I like to try to stay in EV mode when possible, though it's difficult. Not much hard acceleration. Feels like i'm doing something wrong.
The only thing I can think of is that the heatwave we've had in the northeast recently is affecting it. We always have to have the AC blasting with the kids in the car as it's been like 100 degrees.
ALSO - is there a way to see MPGs per TRIP? Now i'm not talking about the current drive/time in the car. I'm talking about TRIP A and Trip B. My Accord lets me see TOTAL MPG, as well as MPGs for TRIP A and TRIP B. The GH appears to only let me see Total MPG and "CURRENT DRIVE" MPG, which they name "trip". It's confusing. Current Drive MPG is a bit useless imo.
