Is the 1.6L engine in the Venue does it need to be broken in? My wife drives the car and it's mostly city driving but the MPG with 1st tank of gas was barely 25 MPG. This is what the cars computer said it was. With the 2nd tank I'm doing it old school and wrote the mileage down and will do the math myself. Are you people satisfied with your MPG? Thanks!

I've found the 1.6L Smartstream engine to be very fuel efficient. The 2 fuel injectors per cylinder helps atomize the gas for a better burn but how much fuel you use is heavily dependent on your driving style. I use cruise control whenever I can and use the +/- buttons on the steering wheel to maintain speed with traffic. The onboard fuel economy calculation seems to be quite accurate against hand calculations. Warming up the engine in winter conditions and city driving hurt fuel economy in any car. I find I get best numbers from late April to November. Best I've recorded is around 42 mpg.
The 2 fuel injectors per cylinder was the first thing I noticed when I popped the hood to look at the engine. Interesting for sure.
