Very low fuel eco 2016 Chevy Malibu
Hi! Just bought a 2016 Chevy Malibu 1LT from Enterprise a couple months ago. I've been calculating the MPGS I get from the car and get only 250 miles per full tank which is 23 miles a gallon... seems very low for a car that is 27 city and 37 highway. Do an even combo of city and highway. I live in Wisconsin so of course they're telling me it's the weather but we had a nice week of mid 60s and am still getting the same results. Its really a pain in the butt to fill up so frequently. Any suggestions?

Are you calculating the mileage by miles driven/gallons used? You need to record several fill ups before you can get an idea of the true average fuel mileage.
A simple tuneup (spark plugs, wires, etc) may bring the average up a mile or two per gallon.
