If you have temps in the 70's plus, you can go EV in a mile if your battery is low from the start-up. From there, you can burn off the battery in EV bringing you MPG in the mid to upper 30's in a little over two miles. Sometime I have to do a cold start in the mornings to take my Son to school, and average 37mpg on my scangauge on that round trip back to my home. Slow speeds with "L" regen help to pack the battery, and the "N" double tap help me go EV ASAP.

Your going to beat my mileage if your FEH is new. Good luck and keep us posted.
