Last tank was 19MPG average per gas cubby app... So getting better than last and we will see with this tank. The vehicle one is off a little IMO as the app is much more accurate.

It is weird for sure. I am using 93 octane in last tank and was 90% city driving. Seems like the dealer should be doing more to try to fix the issue.

I am putting the best grade gas in. Just can't get it over 11.2 MPG in the city. I just drove it on the highway for 8 miles. Was able to get the reading to 11.8. Woo hoo!

The dealer won't help on anything. It is the only one within 500 miles and they don't need to support the cars my my city.
17 posts, all negative, you should sell the car and move on. Life is too short to get as wrapped around the axle as you are (even if it is legit).

I have a suspicion the incontrol MPG numbers are not accurate. It would be an interesting test to measure with actual odometer miles and gas pump fill up; vs MPG on the in car systems.
