2023 LE fwd mpg, what are you getting?

Sort trips in winter is normal to get low 35 mpg. In a long trip summer, you will get easily 45-60 mpg. if you drive 40-50 mph, you can get at least 50 mpg.

 

My observation having driven in temperatures from 75 to 40f and in rain:

The correlation between temperature and time in EV mode is high. On a cool morning the engine will start after the car barely moves and will keep running longer when it does switch on. My guess would be that the engine switches on largely for the purpose of keeping it within a reasonable operating temperature.

The correlation between time in EV mode and more miles driven per gallon is pretty strong.

Rain at higher speeds also seems to decrease efficiency quite a bit. A long fall drive at about 40f with lots of rain showed a long stint in the low 40mpg range.

TLDR version: rain and cold burns more gas.

 

The cabin temp is maintained by supply heat from the engine. Once the engine is hot, it will be longer in EV mode.
