We've taken our FEH into the dealer 3 times and every time they tell us nothing is wrong. But obviously, if we're barely getting 50% of the posted mileage, something is wrong.
Three times is usually the cutoff for "lemon law" actions. Maybe you should consider that. It's a good way to address a problem that the dealer cannot diagnose. It's obviously a problem, and you are not getting what you paid for. I would consider that option were I in your shoes....Good luck....
