2018 nx 300h Hybrid
I'm getting about 32 mpg according to the dash. I have equal city and highway driving. However, the manual says the the nx has nearly 16 gallons but the most I have ever pumped was almost 12 gallons. At that point my car alerted me that the gas level was low. Thats pretty much it gallons that I could have used before filling up. The dash always says I'm low on Gas after a bit over 400 miles. Is this just a fail safe for the computer to help protect us from ever truly running out of gas? Even if so, a 4 gallon reserve is a bit much no?

I’m with you, I have the hybrid as well and I get around 32-33 mpg (equal city/freeway driving) before I have to fill up. I only ever pump 12 gallons each time before the car tells me I’m low on fuel. I think it’s a fail safe for the hybrid system. The manual says that it will not initiate below a certain amount of fuel. If I ignored it, given the tank size, I could hypothetically pull 500+ miles per tank.

2018 NX 300 with premium package and 1000 miles about 20mpg in NYC driving conditions, so plenty of traffic. I alternate between eco mode while in traffic and normal mode when on highway speeds.

2018 NX300 I am getting 23-24 mixed city and highway driving. Use normal mode most of time, try to maintain around 2000 rpm. I am rarely putting my foot down. . 1800miles now., Need to drive harder to see how the mpg looks like with more aggressive driving style.

32MPG average in our 2018 NXh. Primarily in-town driving with 2 two-exit highway stints daily. Spot on what the EPA estimate states. Very happy and impressed as this heavier AWD vehicle is achieving what its front-wheel-drive predecessor did (HS 250h).

lol man, maybe something is wrong with my car? car is driven like a granny most of the time, it's only getting 15~16mpg on average according to the dashboard.
looks like it should be at least 20ish based on everyone's feedback...........
