Range is horrible at just over 300 miles (gas light makes wife nervous).
I lost about 3-5 MPG avg tank with Thule rack and Yakima Loadwarrior basket. I've taken them off and am up to ~23 MPG (50/50 combined) coming from ~19 MPG.

I have been tracking my mileage on my highway mountain commute using Eco for two weeks and Sport + for two weeks. In the end only a 4% difference using Sport+ for this drive. So think I will stick to the Sport+ as the responsiveness and handling improvements are worth the 4% loss in gas mileage to me.

Does anyone know, when the Eco light comes on in Normal and Eco mode, is that a signal that the vehicles has switched cycles from Miller to Atkinson or vice versa?

Thanks!

Have had the NX F-Sport for about 3-4 weeks now and drive about 90% city and am averaging around 17-18 mpg, not quite what I was hoping for. Its a bit better than my 08 MDX where I was mostly getting around 14 mpg but thats a V6. Does the mpg get better with time? I don't remember my previous new cars' mpg getting better with break-in. I'm driving it in normal and not particularly pushing it hard...at least I don't think I'm driving it any different than the Sienna I came from =)

23.5 MPG average over the last few weeks. Definitely noticed that economy hasn't been as good now that the weather has heated up

How accurate is the digital display? I filled her up and calculated my MPG and it was a few miles off from the calculated (4mpg to be exact).
Anyone else have any input?

Ours is usually .2 or so off, never more than 1.5 off. The display on the car is normally lower than actual. Rarely is it higher than actual.

Odd. Our display is nearly always 1.5 to 1.8 mpg higher than actual calculated mileage. This is actually the same in both of our Lexus vehicles.

Your results are the same as our F150, I was surprised that the NX was fairly good.

Late to the thread here- I just purchased a 2018 NX300. I'm getting about 26mpg mixed. Struggling because I owned 2 Prius before this. I cannot find a way when I reset the trip to see how many miles I've gone on the trip. I can see how many I have left in the tank after reset- but I'm looking to track how many I've gone after I have reset. Does the NX have this feature? If so I cannot find it :/ Thanks in advance!

Hit the ODO/TRIP button until you see your Trip A or B and you hold the button to reset it. The button is behind the left side of the steering wheel.
