I don't use remote start in the summer months and usually fill at the same station and pump at about the same time of day. Not that it's a problem but it just seems to pay so much for a new car with all the technology that it would be closer then 12 - 35% off. Really other then that the car performs fine. VERY HAPPY with my fuel milage in town to and from work.

Coming down the mountain was in "L" with hill assist on and the occasional brakes, the switchbacks are so tight that you nearly come to a complete stop to make them so you never really get going too fast so many turns to make. Better pay attention to the road and not your wife screeaming in your ear that your too close to the edge. :shift: Funny thing is the park rangers tell you not you use your A/C going up the mountain because you might overheat. In the FFH it's never an issue :thumbsup: 90 degrees @ the bottom 43 degrees @ the top.

Here is a snapshot of my downhill descent from Pike's peak to the halfway point I think. As you can see it is awesome MPG's :happy feet:

I pretty much had the hill assit button on the whole time in Colorado :) gotta love those mountains. 7% down grades hard to make the car not go too fast. low gear hill assist and on occassion the brakes.

OK this is funny to mw. My actual MPG vs the car reported MPG are off by @ least 12% upto 35%. I just got my car back from the dealer who did the power steering bolts recall. I explained to him my questions about it. His response..... are you ready for it. The instant MPG readout on my dash is set to 5 min interval and he said thats what the difference is reporting HUH???? Did I just hear that right my instant readout is causing my tankful MPG to be off. WOW I'm such an idiot. Here is my fill ups and the actual vs computed MPG see for yourselves. My computer is giving me hints it doesn't want to do things that I need done right now so it be posted as soon as my computer lets me update the post.

We were on a very long straight road for 175 miles, so I wasn't turning the wheel much. That would explain it.

Yes coming down the very steep inclines the ICE was running @ 4-5 K but still showing 60+MPG. The way to slow down the ICE was to accellerate. I just assumed this was to keep the car from speeding up I was in Low gear and had the hill assist on when going up the steep grades. The ICE could go upto 4K uphill climbing some of those peaks. I turned off the drivers assist as I don't need it in town. Just wanted to try it out.

Let me add my post after taking a 3500 miles to and from Colorado. Yes this car is quiet on the highway :) No this car does not excel at awesome MPG's when pushed over 8o MPH :shift: This car does not stay in EV mode coming down the mountains EV mode resets@999.9 miles The nav system shows two different miles to destination ,gets closer as you near your destination. The ABC coach 1st hashmark is @77 MPH, the 2nd is @66 MPH and the 3rd is @55 MPH give or take 1-2 MPH. Lane keeper is a nice feature when your tired or not just helps you along. Driver assist is kinda goofy goes off at random times I don't care for it. I was told to keep both hands on the wheel several times when my hands were on the wheel.???? ECO cruise is very smooth Satellite radio is awesome in the mountains :thumbsup: This is my first CAR vacation in @ 30 years and it didn't disappoint. Now to attempt to wash the thousands of bugs off my baby. Total miles 3468.6, Total EV miles 1034.7 Time behind the wheel 70:43, Total gallons 83.59, Ave MPG 41.49

Hello Gang, I was taking a trip to Colorado and noticed that using the downloaded navigation there was a difference between the LCD nav screen and the dashboard screen in terms of milage the difference got smaller the closer to the destination. Anyone else have or see this problem before?

All righty gang, this list is from the first fill up until now here is my list of actual vs car mpg, difference and percent off 31.67 42.6 10.99 35% 43.47 48.8 5.33 12% 41.76 53.4 11.64 28% 48.36 56.7 8.34 17% 49.20 58.1 8.90 18% 53.30 60.3 7.00 13% 52.68 63.7 11.02 21% 58.56 65.8 7.24 12% 43.12 50.7 7.58 18% 35.30 44.4 9.10 26% 45.66 54.2 8.54 19% 45.49 51.8 6.31 14% 48.56 54.2 5.64 12% 40.13 49.7 9.57 24% 33.10 38.9 5.80 18% overall car is off by 19%

The displayed MPG's are not correct. That is part of my complaint to the dealer. The actual MPG was 58.56. I drive approx 21 miles to work one way and have found what I believe to be the most fuel efficent route. Plus the warmer weather helps greatly. It rained 2 days and with the a/c on I still managed to get that kind of milage. I'm very happy with the car around town.

I forgot to included this image sorry.

OK Hybrid gang, Here is my 700 mile tank. Please ignore the pictured MPG as it's not correct The actual MPG was 58.56. Also note the range is an amazing 875 miles to empty if only that were true. Just had the dealer change the oil as we are heading west to Colorado this week. Can't wait to see what this car can do on the highway and in the mountains.

I noticed the same thing with my tints, It got much better with time still has some glare from headlights off of the defroster lines. But that is about all.

Ok just checking to see if I'm on the right track or not. I will be taking a long road trip to Colorado in July, :shift: So I curious to see if the 40 MPG rating on the highway is close. I know that driving in the mountains is certain to take a toll on my mileage, However I'm very curious if the highway driving will render 40 plus mpg's. Thank you for all of your input as I value all of your information as crucial to my quest for the holy grail of MPG's the ever elusive 700.
