How are you both calculating your MPG? If you are going by the display that can be off by 5 MPG or more.

No way she's getting 32-33 mpg with the 3.2l, not even if it's FWD. My 2014 3.2 TH gets 22-26 mpg.

Measuring at the pump, or the display? I'm getting 21 mostly highway right now, but that's because I'm using the remote start and letting it warm up. 13-15, I'd say something is wrong. No codes?

next time I get gas I will have to measure by the pump. I have no engine codes and it runs fine.
