Welp, the EPA rates the A220 4MATIC @ 24 MPG city / 34 hwy (combined average 28 MPG), so it may be that yer little German fuel computer is lying to you :\

I mean hypermilers are able to outduel the already stringent EPA testers, but not by double

It may even be that you had just reset the mileage computer after filling up, and the true consumption has not yet set in

The dealer who sold me sold me this car did warn me about certain electronic malfunctions at certain times and that in case it ever happens, I should take it to the dealership. Most car owners nowadays are resorting to mass marketing cars (Honda, Toyota, etc.) and avoiding luxury vehicles since repairs are sketchy and crooked.

Sadly, new new vehicles are becoming 💩

They are filled with overcomplicated, unnecessary, and overpriced tech and electronics (that shiny marketing makes people think they need) which just fails with absurd frequency, and once your basic 3 or 4 year warranty is up, it is all bad news; the commonness of the CVT transmission across manufacturers is exceptionally worrisome

Toyota used to make good cars and trucks; post-COVID, their build quality and reliability is sliding badly
