Mine's a 22 plate and is 42.5 over the last 10,000 miles.

Hi, apologies for butting in, but as a new member I can't yet contact Indalo1 who I'm sure was a Sporty owner!
Like him, we had a place in Spain, very close to his User Name
Anyway, just to disturb the pigeons, we have just bought an Ultimate AWD PHEV. Our Sporty GTLine S PHEV was marvellous and sorry to see it go, but madame likes to change every 3 years. The Sporty facelift isn't due till mid 2025 and I don't like losing those distinct boomerang DRL's
The Tucson has the new dash and interior, plus comes with better cabin upholstery choices (Sailing Blue and Moss Grey for us)
As for mpg (almost forget what that is) most of our driving is local (now that we've sold our place in Mojacar) so the PHEV gets charged via solar and batteries at off peak rates, so 14kWh's is just over £1 for 40 miles.... Before having solar we paid £57 a month, now we only pay £40 a month and are £140 in credit from what we export in the summer months, which balances out the lower production and higher winter usage. When we need longer journeys we can sue the ICE motor and fill up with petrol instead of an EV charging station at 80p per kW!
Anyway, this thread is about mpg so I'll let you carry on

just bought a tucson ultimate mild hybrid to replace my 2021 ultimate full hybrid 2 main gripes fuel consumption is nowhere near that of hybrid and they have removed the cornering lights which is a step backwards in my opinion
