I've had mine since Feb. Stay mainly in "normal" mode. Cruising around town I average 42-45. Mix in Interstate and I'm getting 38-40. Hauling 750 lbs in bed, averaged 36 mpg on 20 mile trip. Sport mode will add some gitty up, but I get 33-35 mpg.
I went through the same thing last year. Ordered a 2.0 EB Jan 2022. Was told by my dealer prior to September reorder when to come in. Reordered a Hybrid in September with a "priority code" and took delivery Feb 2023. Glad I switched engines. Stay close to your dealer to get queued up, and ask...
