It*s not so much letting the oil cool down as it is letting the turbocharger cool down so that it doesn*t cook the oil inside it when it stops.
CORRECT for ALL Turbochargers ! Period.

I*m jealous. I*m getting about 18-19 MPG with my 2019 Touring FWD with mainly city/stop-and-go driving. I thought I*d be getting better gas mileage with the Touring, but I kinda wish I went with the turbo option now. Might have been better off....
You wouldnt have. My city mileage is pretty abysmal. Thank God for long legs on the highway, though.Might have been better off....

The manual states to idle for at least 30 seconds in order for the oil to cool down.

Mileage figures are all over the place.
I live in a rural area where a 16 mile trip to the bank only encounters 2 stop signs (meaning no stop & go and minimum 45 MPH), and I average 22MPG-23MPG. My tires are at 38PSI. I don't have a lead foot, and cannot fathom how these high mileage figures are achieved.
My guess would be that your problem is all the evasive maneuvers to avoid deer.I don't have a lead foot, and cannot fathom how these high mileage figures are achieved.
That's normal. Not every engine coming out of factory created equal. Some engines will perform better than others due to manufacture tolerance allowed on parts. A poorer performance engine is less efficient, hence you get poorer gas mileage even though you've tried every way to save gas.Mileage figures are all over the place.Im jealous.

I'll update this, as we've finally taken a trip that isn't always stop and go.
We had been averaging about 20mpg's (barely) for the first 7 months and 4k miles. We took a trip up North, where we were able to keep a pretty constant 50-70 MPH speed. We averaged above 28mpg's for the whole trip. We didn't buy the CX-5 for its fuel economy, but I was pretty impressed with that.

When 2.5T just came out for gen-2 CX-9 in 2016, same complaints on gas mileage happened. For some reason 2.5T does have wide variance on gas mileage in real world experience.
I've wondered if resetting the computer might help. I really babied it through the break in period. Perhaps it learned some bad habits.
It will re-learn your driving profile. When someone else drives my vehicle, it drives differently for a bit, after I get it back.
