But I can probably guarantee at 327 miles on the odometer I wouldn't be on my 3rd tank of gas with an average of 13.6 mpg. My daily/weekly average commute just doesn't add up for a turbocharged CUV. I need the best mpg on regular gas that I can get and this NX definitely ain't it.
I don’t know if you lease , but if you bought your NX wouldn’t trading it in now for a UX just off set the difference in case mileage. The loss of value from the NX would likely be far greater than getting a new UX.

Something is wrong with the car I had my loaner NX pegged at redline and got better than 13.6 mpg.

It doesn't have a problem. 2 months old, 327 miles driven is the problem. During winter time I just don't drive very much and this isn't the right vehicle for that.

It's leased. I'll have to stay in it for at least a year before I can try to get out of it.

No nothing is wrong with the car, it's just not the right car for my driving habits especially in the winter.
