Why is my Kia Sportage's gas mileage lower than expected?

I just bought a Kia Sportage and noticed that my gas mileage is much lower than the advertised MPG. Is there something wrong with my car or is this normal?

It's possible that there is something wrong with your car or driving habits that is causing lower gas mileage. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to make sure everything is functioning properly.

There could also be external factors that are affecting your gas mileage, such as weather conditions or traffic patterns. It's important to keep track of your gas mileage over time to get a more accurate picture.

Additionally, make sure to properly maintain your car with regular oil changes and tire rotations. This can greatly improve gas mileage in the long run.
