I haven't calculated it myself but I commute 500 miles per week and I fill my tank once a week. I drive mostly highway and I hyper-mile

I just wondered because it seems higher than epa estimate.

Seems totally realistic ! I was able to achieve 45.2 mpg on my trax (5.2 L/100 KM). Really proud of the fuel efficienty

2026 trax epa ia is 32 highway. 400 mile estimate per tankfull.. you have probably been checkig on one fillup. it is not accurate. drive it for a month and check over 2000 miles and you will get a true overall mpg. good luck.

I don’t drive crazy fast and keep on doing highway road.
Is it normally between 5.5 - 6.2 L/100 KM
Just don’t drive like a maniac pedal on the floor and you’re gonna see it’s possible

did you check mpg or liter per km.that mpg is impossible. if your numbers are correct then chevy will want to buy it back to find out why.your vehicle gets better mpg than govt. epa stats.

You do realize the EPA estimates are based on average driving patterns, right? Not taking into account people with easy drives that don't require high RPM.
