Why is my Kia Niro experiencing poor fuel efficiency?

I recently purchased a Kia Niro and have noticed that I am not getting the fuel efficiency advertised. What could be causing this and what steps can I take to improve it?

Maria, there could be a few reasons for poor fuel efficiency in your Kia Niro. One possible cause could be that you are consistently driving at high speeds, which can decrease fuel efficiency. I recommend trying to maintain a consistent and moderate speed when driving. Another factor could be the type and quality of fuel you are using. Make sure to use the recommended fuel type for your vehicle and consider purchasing from a reputable gas station.

Hi Maria, have you checked your tire pressure recently? Under-inflated tires can reduce fuel efficiency. Also, try to avoid idling for long periods of time and remove any excess weight from your car. And don't forget to regularly service your vehicle to ensure all components are functioning properly.

Maria, it's also important to consider your driving habits. Rapid acceleration and hard braking can use up more fuel. It may be helpful to practice gentler acceleration and braking. And remember to plan your routes to minimize the need for frequent stops and starts.
