Ted Swing Report post Posted October 30, 2013 That's really impressive. By the way, has anyone tested how far we can drive below the computer's "Mi to E" estimate? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
acdii Report post Posted October 31, 2013 So on the car the Ford downgraded to 43 MPG, they are doing much better than the cars still rated at 47? Seems odd, but, eh, guess thats how it is. 1 hybridbear reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeff_h Report post Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) That's really impressive. By the way, has anyone tested how far we can drive below the computer's "Mi to E" estimate?I think the most I've gone is 33 miles past zero, and another couple times were -29 and -30 or thereabouts, was too chicken to go further. But the DTE number is pretty volatile based on recent driving, so going by the gallons used on trip gauge set to same as tank fill-up seems more accurate, IMHO. This past tank was a good one, 620 miles and DTE said 49, might have been above to stretch to 700 on this one but have the long commute tomorrow (60 each way) and gas is 30-40¢ more per gallon up in NoVA, so filled up today. But this good tank was enough to notch the lifetime up another peg (lifetime regen miles artificially low as that was reset during the PCM recalibration) - still about 2 MPG more optimistic than the actual average noted on fuelly.
