8,3 lt/100km (34mpg) in my last 500km trip. 130k/hr most of the time, 75% highway, full load and A/C.
Quite good number IMHO.
Take a look at my stats. I've been using this for a couple of months and it's interesting to use. I have a 8,43 (33.5) as my average in the last 3000 km

You may see here that the average of averages is 7,49 l/100km (37.7mpg).

People need to realize emptying the tank is a bad idea. The pump requires gas to cool it and dirt or sediment will reside there too. It can get sucked up into the filters or worse injectors.
Read the manual , I'm pretty sure its stated in there not to empty the tank. 1/4 is my rule of thumb....also gas can and does get water in it. Cars don't run as well on water , not yet anyway.

Well point taken. For peace of mind in a pinch I want to know how far I can go when the gauge and warning lamp tells me to refuel. So when the NX says I'm done I've got 20% fuel in the tank still. At least based on the first fill.
I will try this again a after a few more fills and more normal driving conditions to see if it is replicated and then no less that 1/4 tank!! That is until a retrofit comes along where water IS a good thing in the tank.

First, as a company car we arent allowed to hav higher emmisions than 120g/km(mine is 117g), actually I think the NX is the only car with automatic gearbox and 4wd capable of this. The other point is the gasprices here in sweden. Right now its 13,79SEK/liter converted its 6,064USD/gallon...

Well from my point of view I had to care for a couple of reasons:

For me, I just pick a car I love the appearance and drive of. When do I get gas? When the car needs it. I personally have no concern over the gas mileage. I remember my grandparents had a 2004 Envoy that I loved to drive, and that thing required gas every time you drove it lol.

Definitely, winter is over here and consumption has dropped considerably. I'd say a 25%, although it seems a big figure for me.

Reset my MPG after refueling my tank before a roughly 130 mile round trip. 85% highway and 15% city.

This is great and as the warmer temps rise (pre-A/C season though), expect your best MPGs. I bet in city driving (where electric mode is more often utilized), you can hit 40 MPGs. Let's see it happen!

What really impressed me is that with A/C + Ventilated seat function engaged and driving Highway I hit 36.8 MPG (with my AWD the estimated rate is 30 so that was very great), got in the city still using those two functions and my MPG went up to 39.8 MPG. More city driving and I would have hit 40 for sure.

after 256 miles on my 1st tank of gas I went for my 1st fill up. I had a little under a quarter tank left.
The computer said I was at 21 mpg but my calculations were aboout 22.15 mpg
I have the NX200T AWD with Luxury package.
Driving was a mix of highway and local. Some of the highway driving was in heavy traffic that was stop and go.
