What gas mileage do you get whether in mpg or L/100km? I’m looking for a day of driving like miss daisy with no racing in sport. Please post for all 3 engine variants.
I have a Modena and I get 16.5 mpg which seems very low for a 4 cylinder.

Is this city driving?
If yes, whats the name of the city? I'm tring to undestand if this is really an issue.
For city driving, looks normal.

Good point. This a small town 20 miles north of Atlanta or what could be considered a suburb of Atlanta. Never any traffic issues or congestion.

Hahaha I've been driving like miss days too and same result. 16.2 and 16.7 the better. The hybrid thing is most for Europe to get the low emissions sticker and get some advantages cause it doesn't save extra gas.

See bellow in the pictures what I'm doing with A6, also 4 cylinders.
Long term memory (never reset it since the car was new) and also short term from this morning going to work (congested city). Today was a nice traffic, as sometimes I'm doing less than 15 mpg going to work.
Anyhow, around 250kg less and also more aero friendly.

But anyhow, here in east Europe the law is more friendly with drivers (probably you will do jail time with such behavior in the US).
I'm doing always 100mph as cruise speed on highways, 80-90mph on other important roads, 30-50mph city driving, every time when this is possible.
So this is how I'm driving 90% of the time.
The rest of 10%, sometimes faster but often slower.
So, if the long time average with my Modena after I will have it delivered will be 20mpg, I will be happy.

But what to expect from a Jeep engine?!
Btw, is the Grecale having 2 board computers working in parallel?

Trofeo mixed, Highway, City about 12-13 liters per 100km. Absolutely okay for a car with that weight and this power.

Absolutely, the 4-cylinder needs maybe 2 liters less. That is why this downsizing is actually ridiculous :sneaky:

Yes, that's true.
But still dont get it what you are doing, guys from west countries, with big powerfull engines. It is only for showoff maybe?

@TF007 , Switzerland is a complete disaster if you try to overspeed. And the other countries in west are almost the same.
As I said, I'm cruising here in Romania with 160kmh.
If they catch me with no more than 200kmh I will get a 180euros fine and 40 days driving licence suspended.
Over 200kmh you will lose it for 90 days.
Probabily in Switzerland you will go to prison.
Once, returning from Italy, trough Croatia, after passing Zagreb, there were many Croatians doing +200kmh. I mixed myself with them and reached serbian border, 300km further in less than 100 minutes.

It's not always about top end speed. For me it's that low down grunt and power that allows you to make progress better in traffic. Sitting behind a arctic truck with 4-6 cars behind it all in front of you, all pondering if they have enough power to overtake the arctic truck (hesitating), with that better power output BHP you can over take much easier and make progress, whilst the others are still stuck behind. ;)

My Modena is getting 17.4mpg while 100% city driving (lots of rush hour). I've been pretty gentle on the throttle as I'm still under 1000km. Mostly in Comfort mode and no auto start/stop (that feature stopped working and I don't miss it at all 😆).

I filled the tank in full to test the real mileage x gallon and I got 15 miles per gallon when the screen is telling me almost 16. Consumption is too high for just a 2.0 cc. I've been driving really slow and looking at the electric tool to be sure Im using the electric assistance.
Next test is driving normal with some extra acceleration to pass other cars. Lests see what I get.

yes, The consumption is awful for a 2L. Our Ghibli SQ4 which is 424hp 6 cylinder gets the same.

Our Modena is reporting an overall 28 mpg after 1,800 miles mainly driven in Comfort mode.

Our Imperial UK gallon is slightly bigger than the US gallon. So 28 UK mpg equates to 23.5 US mpg

Is that rural, city or mainly highway driving?

Makes sense with the highway trip included. I’m getting low 16’s just driving around the burbs.
My friend in his huge new heavy BMW 740i is getting 22mpg 🤔

Guys, this car has 2 computers to measure the averages?
Yes or no? Probabily yes, as this is a common feature for almost all the cars.
My advice is to keep one computer for the long term and one to measure short trips.

The long term after 3000 miles should give the reality of the situation.

I will be satisfied with 20mpg US gallons for long term measures for my Modena, as we are overspeeding here :)
For short term, in city driving, if it is better than 15mpg in difficult traffic, that will be ok for my side.

I have after 8 thousand kilometers (5k miles) of mostly ordinary driving with a lot of short trips, about 11.3l = 20.8mpg.

Out of curiosity I looked a bit into why the auto start stop seemed to be disabled all the time (on the dash display there is a symbol indicating it is not on). If you usually drop your hood and let it slam shut this probably does not affect you. However, I have a habit (from owning other cars with an aluminum hood) where I close the hood by lowering it slowly and then pressing down until it latches. There is a sensor which apparently did not detect the hood is fully closed and that is why the auto start/stop was disabled. Strangely, there is no warning light on the dash showing the sensor did not detect full closure. The door/hood open warning light only illuminates if you don't press down on the hood and actuate the mechanical latch. In my situation the mechanical latch was engaged and therefore no warning light.
