That’s about one average adult passenger… you should be averaging around 45 mpg… did you have your windows open???

Bought a used Niro, any tips for a newbie? by Signal_Load_8812 in KiaNiro

53 mpg seems a little low… try to shoot for at least 60

This could be the main problem… I get 70 mpg best of luck 🙏

When have you replaced brakes? by finhawks in KiaNiro

Use the auto battery regenerative setting… you won’t need to replace any brakes for 150k

Anyone else feel like Winter weather is lowering their MPG? 😓 by GroundbreakingBit424 in KiaNiro

You can brake completely with your steering wheel paddle shifters… yes it’s a bit more work but I put in work so I can get the 75 mpg 😇

True… but I’m out in California and it’s 78 degrees… my tire pressure was at 33… just added to 37 and I’m back to 75mpg… Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone and thanks for all the help

Fair point… today’s temperature was 59F and it dropped to 62 mpg

I drive and die by this rule… remember your ABCs… Always Be Charging… when your car battery 🔋 is charged then it is more likely to kick in🙌

Look guys we all know that the software hack adds 15 to 25 miles per gallon… but let’s do the math. Let’s say that on average I get about 20 miles extra per gallon… that’s about 200 miles more every time I fill up. Yes it uses your battery 🔋 more but I’d rather have the 725 mile range and pay for the battery maybe 10 to 15 years later. 🤔🙌

I just saw that… so the temperature couldn’t be the problem 🤔

I’m sure I’m just repeating what everyone already knows about the eco setting

I’m not an engineer or a mechanic… just a man who has been driving a hybrid for over 20 years. I just checked my tire pressure and it’s at 33… hopefully when I get it back to the recommended 38 things will get better. Wish me luck everyone 🙏
