Hey everybody,

I’ve been snooping around this forum quite a lot which prompted me to make an account and ask you guys a question

I own a 2022 Taos comfortline 4MOTION and have noticed poor fuel economy. When I first bought the car in the winter time I was getting 700 - 710 KM per tank with heating blasting at all times (fyi, I live in Canada and it’s cold here hahaha).

Fast forward 1 year and I’m at 19750 KM driven and on a full tank I’m getting around 620 - 630 KM. Is this normal? Im a big newbie when it comes to cars in all honesty. But thought it would be great to reach out to the community.

I’ve checked tire pressure, nothing in the trunk space, solo driver, coolant is good as well. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be in the winter time because of the higher mileage?

Like you, my fuel economy is worse in winter. Winter tires are part of the cause. Many of my trips are short which puts me below ideal operating temperature. My best was 700+ km on a tank once on trip from Ontario to PEI in summer Averaging over 120 kmh. I’ve not gone a full or multi tank road trip under winter conditions to compare.

Silverhand85, what does your in-car computer say in terms of long-term fuel consumption?
