I know it has been mentioned on another thread, but I wanted ask a separate question.
Since purchasing my brand new 2012 Evora S three months ago, I've worked out a few bugs it had and have been enjoying it immensely. I've driven it hard and easy to see the difference in gas mileage but no matter how easy I drive it around the city I can't get more than 14-15 mpg, so at least I thought. Recently I started calculating the gas mileage myself at fill-up and find it's actually getting 17 to 19mpg, now that is more like it! The computer never showed over 23mpg on the highway no matter how easy I drove it, but the last trip I manually calculated 27mpg. So obviously the computer is way off and not accurate at all!
The second problem is the temperature gauge, it reads 8 to 10 degrees hotter than it actually is outside, that is ridiculously off!
So my question is, has anybody had this problem and have you complained to the dealer and asked them to fix it? Since my car is new and I'm under warranty, I want them to fix it. I could live with a little off but these readings are way off and I don't believe a new car should have digital gauges this inaccurate. I'm wondering if they can be adjusted in the computer or would they need a new chip that controls these gauges?
I really would like to have accurate read outs so I know my true average mpg as well as the temperature outside. Thanks!
