Sounds to me like reduced efficiency reflecting driving conditions vs the EPA values for miles/KW. Not sure its the car rather than conditions.
Reminds me of a wise Italian restaurant owner I met yrs ago in Rome. I complained about the the meal ticket not reflecting our dinner. He asked - did you enjoy your meal? Answer - yes very much. Is that a fair price? Yes was my answer. So he retorted - why are you complaining?? Good point. Perhaps more focus on car enjoyment and less on the efficiency math?
