Various ways to check

What is your current draw? Check the consumption page and there also is an instaneous draw figure if you configure the trip computer on the indicator stalk

What mode are you in? Comfort, ecopro?

It's highly possible if you are accelerating up an incline? If fact if I accelerate too hard it will force me out of edrive

My own experience that for max e range runs I don't use edrive for inclines, what I do is petrol with hold charge ( configure one of your 1-8 buttons for this), then full edrive when summited. On my 25 mile commute I can get an average of 130 uk mpg. To be honest most of the time I can be bothered and it drops to 80-90.

Word of caution I have burnt out the electric gearbox, warranty issue unknown fault but I only ever put edrive on when I'm stationary or fully off the accelerator and slowing down for several seconds. I do this as a precaution
