    My all gas ICE vehicles get within 3 mpg of EPA (sometimes more, sometimes less) running highway speed limit +4 mph (74 in a 70). This dang hybrid gets 6 mpg LESS than EPA when running highway speed limit +1 mph (71 in a 70). Something is wrong with that!!!

    If that's true then your speedometer would be 1.5 mph fast. My speedometer is dead on my gps. I've wondered what the impact of 10% ethanol is on car computer calculated mpg. Considering here it's about a $1 premium to regular 87, the extra mileage doesn't warrant using it.

    Still makes zero sense! My ICE vehicles get very close (within 3 mpg) to EPA highway numbers when run at 4+ over the speed limit (65 or 70). I'm more than 6 mpg off the highway number!!!

    Who cares what the dang computer says. What does the math say?! mileage on tank of gas / gallons of gas pumped! I have 4 Fords and they are all consistently 3 mpgs lower than the computer mpg!!!

    I'm getting 95%+ on regen braking. Driving 71 on a 70 mph road isn't dogging it!

    The Highway EPA number is 41 mpg!!! Yes, it is a bit cooler now, but I'm not running the AC!

    If the odometer is off, then your speedometer is off. My speedometer is dead nuts on, but the computer is 3 mpg high. Is the computer based on ethanol free gas?

    Swapped a 16 Fusion SE for a 18 Fusion Hybrid SE. First tank of gas, 35 mpg..WTF??? Granted I commute 50 miles to work, 8 city and 40 on 70 mph interstate. Still, 35 mpg, by ecoboost got 30 to 32 combined. Cruise is set at 71.
