As many people have said on here short journey's mileage figures mean nothing .SeeHR said:Yeah, that's why I posted it. I'm surprised too!Alexr said:I dont believe these figures.
Managed 71 over about 22 miles earlier today. Kinda low by my standards! Best I got recently was 97 over about 6 miles. Happy to post pics if people doubt me.
Any ideas why I seem to be getting such unusually good figures?
I get out of my 4yr old chr hybrid 85 MPG in Eco mode now not 64mpg as when it was new, found if you light foot on gas & let it build up slowly you will get benefits as I have.Our 1.8 Hybrid CHR is just over a year old and at 7000 miles should be loosened up by now even though we are told it needed no running in?
It does about 50 mpg overall which is OK but no better than the 2011 Lexus CT we used to run years ago. Disappointing given all the years of 'development' Toyota have put in?
It's not a bad car and like all Toyotas we have ever had, it is totally reliable. BUT if it rode softer and was a bit quieter at speed it would endear itself to us a bit more.
MPG on the instant trip readout has been as high as 80 mpg on a gentle run on a hot day but I set a new record today for the worst mpg of any car ever at 0.5 mpg, yes, half an mpg!
Admittedly it was only over a very short area of car park relocation but nevertheless in the light of frequent poor readings of well below 20 mpg on short trips locally in winter weather it makes me seriously doubt the virtue of paying all that money for a hybrid?
The old CT would often run in pure electric mode for short distances in traffic but the CHR never does - progress eh? Performance is adequate rather than scintilating and we really love the silky smooth and effortless CVT automatic. MPG really falls away on the Motorway with nearer to 45 mpg on a long haul at 70 (ish) mph.
All in all we kinda like the car, but would we buy another, not sure, probably not.
On the other hand dealer attitude is far superior to European allegedly premium brands!
Haha, you're either the best driver in the world(or driving downhill everywhereManaged 66.8 over 348 miles without switching the car off (had a pet with us so left the car on with the AC running).
AC on the whole way, 1 passenger and the boot and loaded to the brim with stuff because we were moving house. Cruise control on 75mph most of the way.
Pretty phenomenal stuff! Have a pic of it if anyone doubts me…
, your computer is malfunctioning or you're trolling us
Yep it's the short runs, you'll find get it 8-9miles out and it will alter leaving home to say Durham I go uphill slightly get what you show. After that it's loaded then it's downhill and flat for the next 6miles yday warm weather 84mpg when turned car off.You're lucky to get good mpg, I'm usually in the 30's for my short trips. I'd probably have to switch the fan/heating off and the infotainment system to boost my numbers!

Leave the Eco thing,it's awful most on here like me leave it normal it doesn't make a penny difference. Think Huey nailed when he said feels like I've deployed a parachute behind me.That doesn't look too shabby. I was trying Eco mode for the first time today and was not too impressed as it made the car feel very unresponsive, dead almost which could be dangerous—also no discernable difference in fuel consumption so probably best left in normal!
C-HR was never originally designed to be a Toyota product, it was designed for there Scion brand ( that explains the funky un Toyota like design ) which Toyota killed off.I wish they'd included a proper drive mode button just like every other hybrid Toyota has! They could even have put it where the traction control switch is and buried that option in the settings menu, I think a lot more people would use a drive mode switch over a traction control one. Bizarre decision and a huge oversight in design in my opinion.
