Took delivery of my 2022 Tucson Hybrid SEL today and drove about 97 miles back home from the dealership. The majority of this was on a relatively flat state road with a speed limit of 75 MPH. 3 points during the trip, there are small town sections where the speed limit goes down progressively to around 45 MPH. Temperature for the day was in the mid 60's.
I set the cruise to 75 during the first part of the trip and after about 20 miles, the MPG was below 25. At this point, I set the cruise to 70 and the MPG improved slightly and I finished the drive with a 26.4 MPG for the entire trip. The entirety of the trip I was in eco mode and I had the AC set to low and driver only. I toggled it on and off a few times, but I would estimate it was on for 75% of the trip.
Needless to say, I was pretty disappointed with the MPG that I was able to get for this first drive with this new vehicle. Am I missing something with this vehicle, or is this expected?
