Texasota Report post Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) My numbers as recorded on the trip 344.7 158.8EV 42.6MPG low fuel light on @50. I put 10.907 Gals in. Now for the NEW MATH. If I assume correctly344.7/10.907=31.609 this is nowhere near 42.6. 344.7-158.8EV miles =185.9 Actual gas miles driven which even worse 185.9/10.907=17.047MPG.EV miles are time spent running on the energy that has been stored in the HVB. It is true that the HVB is charged with regenerative braking (and regen when going down hill) but the overwhelming amount of the energy stored in the HVB is via charging from the ICE (i.e. burning gasoline). And when you think about it, the energy captured during regenerative braking is coming from kinetic energy created by the ICE burning gasoline. Same is true when going downhill since the ICE expended energy by first going uphill (what goes up must come down). Because of that It is not really a valid calculation of MPG to exclude EV miles.
