Hi, still very early days for me,
I seem to recall something saying the Symbioz gets
600mpg ?!
Actually this is on the UK website now:

Now, I’ve probably only done sub 100 miles of urban driving, mix of urban, have not thrashed it- it’s a new car so very careful driving.

It didn’t come with much fuel, I added a bit on day one, then put another £40 in tonight. The gauge looks like it’s above 90% (perhaps 95% full)

But the estimated range was about 365 miles! What!?

Is it just me?

Dug to find their disclaimer. Surely that’s too big of a difference?

The accurate way to calculate mpg is the tank to tank method. I'm getting low fifties to the gallon after 1100 miles covered to date. Think the car needs at least a couple of thousand miles to get all components bedded in.

Mine seems to jump all over the place..in a 5 mile trip to work through town I’m getting 55ish, on a run I’ve had up to 65. Range when I filled up previously did show 590 but following day after no driving 100 less! Remember the tank is small at 48l too

100 mile round trip on Tuesday. All A roads , some dual carriageway, no motorways. Didn't seem to be in ev mode as much as I expected. 56 mpg. Car has covered 1200 miles so far. I'm OK with that so am enjoying the car and am resisting making every journey an economy run.

Filled the tank this morning then off on a 70 mile round trip. The mpg showed 60.8. After working out the tank to tank method it was just shy of 50 mpg for a total mileage covered of 380 miles. Not great but improving. The temperatures have been near freezing these last few days so not much in the way of EV usage. Total mileage is less than 1400 and the car is 8 weeks old.

Yes likely affected by heating on during morning and evening commutes- will see how it fairs

Latest tank to tank mpg is 48.56, not great. Varied driving covering around 380 miles. Total mileage is 1900 plus. Car mpg readings are usually between 55 and 65. A full tank advises around 500 miles. Real world figures are the ones that count so I'm ok with 50 mpg.

Mines noticeably lower atm. I do 90% town driving and filled up today, it reckons 495 miles remaining.
