I bought a Kia Sportage Hybrid in Mar, 2024.
The car only gets 34.8 mpg and never gets to 38-42!
What is wrong with the hybrid version.
I am waiting for an explanation of my mpg next week by a mechanic to see if they find something wrong!

I have a 23 and AC went out in the summer, well during the month with the ac off. i was easily getting 38. everywhere.

but normally i am more like 31-33. I live hilly city + i drive a lot of highway. One day a week on the way home. the highway is pretty flat with a few down hills. with traffic i can only drive between 30-55 mph. and it does exceed 42mph but thats not normal.

I have to replace 2023 Kia Sportage Hybrid 12 V Battery. waiting for that battery from last 2 moths, Kia Battery is not replaceable with other battery. I heard that there is a national shortage for that battery and It's not available in USA. Is anyone can help me?
