Gas guzzler

2012 c250 turbo on a very slight uphill on my driveway does not move forward until pushing on the gas unlike other cars. The RPM seems to be OK just under one is it. Is there anything need to be done how to check. It Is a gas guzzler for four-cylinder car. I got a new spark plugs and the scanner doesn’t show any problem other than the camshaft sensor

Do you have it in Sport or Economy/Comfort mode? By "gas guzzler", what do you mean? What is your mileage?

Four cylinders is pretty non-specific. I have a friend with a 2013 Corolla who claims to get 38 MPG. It also has a 1.8 L engine. But it’s 130 HP in a car that weighs 700 pounds less. I average 25 MPG in city driving and 31 on the highway.

Re: the inclined driveway. My C250 will not start to roll if I come to a complete stop on my inclined driveway which is about a 3% grade. But it will continue to roll forward if I don’t stop or if I use enough pedal to get it moving again.
