Let's see them! Any else at 21? Should this be higher? Is this my actual average mpg? Why does it go all the way up to 80? lol

I'm getting about 18-19mpg right now, but I was getting 20-21 a few weeks back. Obviously running heat + heated seat + heated steering wheel lowers the efficiency.
Running the heat or using heated seats & steering wheel should not impact the efficiency should it?
Just a little bit. Don't know if it's enough to be noticeable on mileage calcs.Running the heat or using heated seats & steering wheel should not impact the efficiency should it?
This much more. He's getting mileage like mine, which implies lots of short trips, which is bad for mileage anytime, but the worst when it's cold.I would say it's indicating colder weather which is why he's getting lower mileage....
For instance, engine oil and other fluids become thicker when they are cold, creating more friction inside the car's engine and causing the car to use more energy.Oct 19, 2015

No blue triangle here, but how's this for mileage on an older 2016? Took a trip from Bethlehem, Pa. down to Ocean City Md., about a 200 mile trip, averaged 33.5 mpg. Here's some various screen shots along the way. This is my second big trip with this car in 2 years. First trip I averaged 28 mpg with the Toyo tires, this trip was with Nokian ENTYRE 2.0 tires. Think the tires made a difference? All flat highway driving, no hills. Speeds between 60 to 75 mph.

Since you posted these pics, could someone explain exactly what those bar graphs and scales mean? Or at least direct me to some documentation on them.
I feel so stupid asking this...
Look under Fuel Economy Monitor in your manual. It's really a brilliant implementation, imo.
it seems like CX-5's get much better mileage at slower speeds
I reset my trips every fill up so my triangle wouldn't indicate much but over the 7,000 miles I've owned my 2019 CX-5, from March to today, I've averaged 28.2 MPG when calculated by hand, 29.7 MPG as reported by the car.
My 2014 CX-5 averaged 29.2 MPG as calculated by hand, 28.23 MPG as reported by the car over the 16,000 miles I owned it and that was year round.
Some possible MPG factors:
I live at about 4,600 feet with long, cold, snowy winters and drive between 75-90 MPH on freeways - it seems like CX-5's get much better mileage at slower speeds but speed limits start at 70 here. Most of my miles are on road trips of at least 500 miles. I almost only use Chevron gas. I'm pretty good at keeping my tires at the correct PSI.
