Hello Gang, :) First time poster. I apologize in advance if this topic has been discussed before. I've tried to search and didn't find what I was looking for. So here it goes. I have a 2015 Fusion Hybrid Titanium, I have filled the tank 3 times now. To say I was disappointed in the results would be a bit understated. My first tank I managed to eek out 344 ;( miles until the low fuel light came on. Now I can only blame myself for this. After much reading here on the forum I have seen the error of my ways. Using the remote start morning and night because the temps. Done no issue. Live and learn right? The next 2 tanks were 471 and 525. Not too bad, much closer to what I expected. Now here is what isn't sitting well with me. The difference between the car computed mpg and the actual mpg was off 1st tank by 35%, the 2nd tank by 12.5%, and the 3rd by 28%. This led me to believe I was an awesome new hybrid driver, NOT the case. Once the truth was told. 31.6 vs 42.6, 43.4 vs 48.8, 41.7 vs 53.4. These numbers are way too far off for me to think that this is a built in error. Anyone else have any experience with this issue? I can accept the numbers not being spot on and maybe off a couple of percentage points but this is beyond ridiculous. I would like to arm myself with as much ammo as I can before marching into the dealer and demanding something be adjusted. Any help would be much appreciated. Bob
