We took our 2014 Kia Forte in the latter part of June, so we have to pour fuel in this fine driving Korean compact sedan for a little more than 4 months. During that time we have run the 7,963 miles, which works out to a little more than 1 850 miles per month.
Those numbers put us ahead of schedule in our quest to collect 20,000 miles in one year. From this point forward we just need average 1.563 miles per month to reach our goal. Forte seems popular enough around the Office to handle that easily.
What's more, we are pleased with the MPG numbers we've seen. Our 2014 Kia Forte EX 2.0-liter engine and has a six-speed automatic, which is good for an official EPA rating of 28 mpg combined (24 city/36 highway.) To this point, our 8,000 miles averaging 17.3 mpg, which rounds to 28 mpg.
Nailed.
Our best Highway tank has so far 35.0 mpg, and that came on our overall evaluation loop, a mix of city and highway driving, which is far from boring freeway stint on cruise control. We can beat the 36 mpg Highway numbers, is what I say, and we have nearly 8 months to make it happen.
Worst play MPG: 20.3
Best refill MPG: 35.0
Average lifetime MPG: 27.8
EPA MPG Rating: 28 combined (24 City/36 Highway)
Best selection: 381.0 km
Current mileage: 7,963
