My GF just bought an auto, AWD 2.4 2015 GV with only 19k km (12k miles) and she's getting terrible fuel economy. It's about half of what's supposed to be. The thing is, she mostly does short trips in moderate traffic and she's averaging around 17km/h (~11mph) and 5.5 to 6km/L (that's about 13mpg US). That's probably a worst-case scenario efficiency-wise but that's still worse than expected. I've only seen those numbers in heavily modded GVs with big tires and whatnot. To put it in perspective, with its 66L tank it's doing less than 300 km. We've filled the tank 3 times now.
We know the history of the car, her elderly neighbor bought it new and barely used it. No crashes or mods or crappy repairs of any kind. It's basically a brand new car that was used as a grocery getter for all of its life.
Is that the kind of mileage we should expect from the 2.4 under such conditions? BTW, this is a 3rd gen GV, sold here until 2019 or so.
Thanks!
