gadgetguy Report post Posted April 28, 2013 Ok I want to see what others do and how it might be affecting fuel economy. I use my remote start pretty much every day in the morning but not in the afternoon. I have not seen any real difference in fuel economy even when the ICE runs in the morning to warm up. I am curious as to how others use it and if you have seen any fuel economy difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjent Report post Posted April 28, 2013 I am very interested in this topic. I will start "prestarting" mine before the 2 mile commute. I do have a baseline to work from, so I will update as I have it.... 1 gadgetguy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

acdii Report post Posted April 29, 2013 That all depends on if the ICE actually runs. Some days I would start the car, and unless I had HVAC actually turned on because I forgot to turn it off, the ICE would not run until I got out of the garage and halfway down my drive. I dont know if the Hybrid has settings for the Climate that are more advanced than the other cars, but the HVAC is automatic along with the seats, although I have yet got in after using remote start to warm or cool seats.

rjent Report post Posted April 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks rjent I appreciate that.Ok, I did it this morning and it worked better than I had expected. I got 67 MPG as opposed to 30. I am not going to say absolutely so far, but it looks good. Check out the thread I started here.
