We love our new Q50 hybrid but are not happy with the gas mileage. We are averaging 24.9 mpg and have about an equal mix of city and highway driving. The advertised mileage is 29/36 with an average of 30 mpg.
It seems the colder it gets the worse the mileage. We live in New England and its been cold. When we first got the car in December we received 30 mpg on the same commute we now get 24.9 regularly.
The dealer says the gas motor stays on when the heater is on... so EV mode is on less than normal. This is a flaw in the system I think.
Anyone else having this issue?
The purpose for paying an extra 10k for the hybrid is to save gas...this isnt happening for us.
