Why is my Kia Soul not getting good fuel efficiency?

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

Another factor to consider is the type of fuel you are using. Check your owner's manual to see the recommended fuel for your specific model of Kia Soul. Using a higher octane fuel than necessary can actually decrease your fuel efficiency.

If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic or in hilly terrain, this can also impact your fuel efficiency. Consider using a route planner to find more efficient routes and try to avoid rush hour if possible.

It is possible that your driving habits may be contributing to the lack of fuel efficiency. Make sure to avoid quick accelerations and unnecessary idling. In addition, keeping your tires properly inflated and getting regular maintenance checks can also help improve fuel efficiency.
