Fuel range again

Not comparing any other cars and MPG but don't you think the tank for this car is way too small. I am getting around 220 miles to a pretty empty tank. Mostly drive in sport and in traffic

What is the point of sport mode in traffic? Turn it down and watch the size of your tank grow.

(Although I agree, any increase in tank size would be welcome.)

I agree, it could be a bit larger. I drive in sport and sport+ 95% of the time, and I'm getting about 300 miles per tank. I'd appreciate a few more gallons to get into the upper 300s for miles per tank.

220-250, sport mode 90%, step on the gas at least once a day. The tank is a joke, I don't mind another 5 gal increase.

That's almost unbelievable!! Is that highway or city ? The 610km on a tank?

Get it to 1200 and complete the break in service. Then you can really enjoy it
