Why is the BMW i8's gas mileage not as good as expected?

I've been driving my BMW i8 for a few months now and I'm disappointed with its gas mileage. I was expecting to get much better mileage since it's a hybrid. Is there something wrong with my car or is this normal?

Hi Samantha, it's important to keep in mind that while the BMW i8 is a hybrid, it still runs on gasoline and is not a fully electric car. As with any car, gas mileage can vary depending on driving habits and conditions. It's possible that your driving style or the type of roads you drive on could be affecting your gas mileage. I would recommend tracking your fuel economy over a longer period of time and making note of any changes in your driving habits or routes.

Hi Samantha, another factor that could be affecting your gas mileage is the way you charge your BMW i8. Make sure to fully charge the battery before driving and try to use the electric mode whenever possible. Also, have your car's hybrid system checked by a certified BMW technician to ensure it's functioning properly.

Hi Samantha, the BMW i8 is known for its powerful performance, but this may come at the cost of gas mileage. The more you use the car's electric and sport modes, the more fuel it will consume. It's important to balance your driving style and utilize the different driving modes to get the best gas mileage.
