  1. Thought I would share my real world experience so far. We are almost done with the 2nd full tank, and about 600+ miles. My life time average is on the car is 36 MPG. I live about 200 feet above town which is 3.5 miles away and so far the average temperature has been in the 40's. I look at the results at the end of every leg of a trip. I get 28-32 MPG on an average on the 3.5 miles in to town (some down hill) and around 32-36 MPG on the way home ( some up hill) . Total round trip ~7 miles. I do this everyday. If I take the car on longer drives for example to 40- 50 miles each way I can inch it up to the highest I have ever seen which is 37.2 I know how to drive a hybrid car. I use to own a Prius. I accelerate and decelerate as slow as possible without people running into the back of me. I am at or below the speed limit. I keep my eyes glued to the EV gauge but have not been able to get it to grow beyond 36 MPG for the life of the car so far. I like the car and all the new bells and whistles but expected to see higher mileage. Hope it get better in the future...
