FWIW, one of my vehicles which _does not_ get the EPA estimated is a 2017 Ford Fusion 2.0L AWD. EPA estimate is 20/29/23 (city/highway/combined.)

I normally get 21mpg combined, which is really not so far off. Lots of highway driving usually gets the average up to 23.5mpg. With that worst-case number, across a full tank of gas (16.5 gallons x 2 mpg), I'm shorted about 33 miles, or 8%.

Is that pretty comparable to what Tesla users see? The article claims it's much higher:

> Tesla was fined earlier this year by South Korean regulators who found the cars delivered as little as half their advertised range in cold weather. Another recent study found that three Tesla models averaged 26% below their advertised ranges.
