  1. Hi- I bought my UX250H in April this year. I am averaging 41.8 miles per gallon. I drive 90% on highways and I would estimate 30 % of my time in highway is stop and go traffic (Chicago peak hours😔). I can’t speak to your driving style, type of traffic u drive in etc, but keep these two things in mind: 1) the range indicator that u see is based of how u drive. I have seen many times the range will go up as u drive. This is simply a mat the car does base n fuel consumption in the last few miles u drove. 2) That said, gas mileage on this car and any hybrid car for that matter varies based on how u drive. Chicago doesn’t have curvy roads, but the highways do have ups and downs. So, what I do is accelerate on the down hill and let my foot off the gas pedal when I am on uphill as much as possible and accelerate just to keep the car moving at the speed I want. I hear this is called momentum driving, and what it basically means is u use the car’s momentum as much as possible and minimize engine acceleration. if after doing all this, ur car gives poor mileage, then I agree that’s is an issue with the vehicle. hope this helps
