How many people use ECO mode? If so do you use it highway, local driving or both? I've just done back to back tanks with the same driving for each, 40 mile round trip 50% local highway, and got 1mpg worse in ECO mode. The driveability seems worse in ECO mode as well. I particularly don't like the delay in starting the ICE when pulling away from lights. It makes for an unsmooth start. Just looking for other opinions.

How do you change display modes on the Engage and Empower screens? I thought there was only one configurable display?

I'm finding that on a tank just around town it's over reporting by about 0.5-1.0 mpg. On a long highway drive the over report is around 2 - 2.5 mpg.

Thank you for the feedback. I have noticed that now it's got cool, and when it was genuinely cold, I find that my HVB is fully charged when I get in even though it was half charged when I parked. I suspected that the car was either an Energi in disguise and driving itself somewhere to fill up or it was a function of the battery being cold, probably the latter. :-)

I didn't realize that cold temps had such a big impact. It was 30s up in Wisconsin and then mid-40s to 50s on the trip home. No rain and it didn't seem particularly windy.

Hi. I'm a new member here and have just bought a 2017 FFH Titanium with 25K miles on it. Before I got my car I had a rental from Hertz from Chicago to 20 miles north of Milwaukee and back over a weekend. I drove at around 75mph most of the way and got 42mpg, that is a main reason I bought this model car. I noticed that it spent a lot of time in EV mode especially on downhills and level road just following a down hill. Around town I'm getting about 46mpg (very happy) but recently I went on a long trip, 700 miles each way, which is almost all Interstate. On the same section of road from Chicago to Milwaukee and back I was getting around 34mpg with exactly the same driving style. The last 400 miles I only got around 32mpg at 75 mph and it was all pretty flat driving. Tank fills and computed consumption are pretty close ~0.5mpg. One thing I noticed was that the EV could only hold about 50-55mph on the flat whereas normally it will hold 70+ with no problem. Once I got back to my home city my drive back from work was at 50mpg about 50/50 highway and city driving. Everything seemed to be working on the electric system regarding charging and regenerative braking but it was just unable to use EV drive. I think it was about 5% of the journey in EV. I thought there might be a problem with the motor but as soon as I was home it seemed normal. Has anyone else had any similar experience with highway driving?
