After 1100 miles
And resetting mpg in instant and trip at last fill up 271 miles ago. We still only average 19.2
Mind you this last 271 was mostly above 65 and last 90 was 70 to 75 with no jack rabbit
Just steady state hwy
Half of the last 90 was eco mode. Zero difference.
So is 19 about right
Hellll my 6000 lb brick f150 4x4 eco gets 21 at 70 to 75.

Give it time to really be broken in before being unhappy. I sit at about 20 mpg in overall driving. Sometimes more , sometimes less.

I got about 26 mph on 93 going 75 mph on flat highways. I get about 20 mpg on E50 on highway going 70-75 mph. Drops like a rock as soon as I get off highway tho.

You are just getting past the break in point so you should expect better. I have seen people getting 27 MPG on the highway…although they were probably driving really slow and drafting semis. I see about 24 MPG on highway and it definitely is at a good pace too. Usually see around 19 MPG around town and stop and go traffic.

22 to 24 would be nice
It's my wifes car and she was used to 24 at texas speeds in her edge with na v6
Plus we have a tire vib at 77 that wiggles the passenger rear seat. So Tuesday I am running by dealer to have rebalanced. Thought maybe we picked up a rock

Could be the insulation in the tire causing the vibration. A lot of people have had this problem.

Yes stock pirellis have insulation in the tire that are supposed to help with road noise. It can detach and cause misbalancing.

They won’t show anything on the sidewall. Hopefully the tire is just misbalanced because it is expensive to get the foam scraped out.

If your tires have PNCS on the sidewall they have the foam inside.

Mine are not pncs
I checked sidewall and pirellis sight.
They didn't put them in 23s
