I've now had a CT200H for 6 months and have done around 5000 miles, I seem to get around 40 mpg which is a lot less than the published figures, this is mainly short trips of 5 miles or so, on motorways I get around 48 mpg.
One thing I have also noticed is the accuracy of the fuel tank gauge and range display.
I have just run the car to 0 miles range and then a further 5 miles before filling up, the fuel gauge was empty and the warning light was on for 20 miles or so. I managed to get 35 litres in to fill the car up, I'd covered 302 miles since the last top up.
This means the tank shows empty when it has 10 litres left, around a quarter of a tank, and shows 0 miles range when it should go a further 90 miles, assuming 40 mpg.
Based on the 45 litre tank it should have a range of 400 to 500 miles.
Is this a common problem?
