Need help please!
We bought a 2014 GX4 about 4 months ago and drive it with the B5 on and Eco off as we were told to by a dealer.
The last tank of petrol (45 litres) got us 605km i.e. 13.4 km/l
When you add a week's worth of electricity i.e. 7 days at 12kw per day X 11.15c per KW = €9.36
The electricity would have bought us another 6 litres of petrol.
So for the equivalent of 51 litres (45 & 6) we achieved 605km = 11.8 km/l
or
11.21 gallons for 376 miles = 33.6mpg which is the most uneconomical car we have ever owned. :shock:
Is my maths wrong or are we doing something wrong with the car? If not, we are obviously selling it ASAP. My gut tells me we bought the wrong car as we are doing 60km round trips and only getting 20km per charge.
