My best round trip to work for my TCH (65 miles, total of 75 miles after filling up) was 51.6 mpg by the tank average display.
How do you drive differently in a hybrid? I'm still on my first tank of gas and I'm getting about 33mpg in my TCH. I don't drive far to work and half the drive to work it's cold--which probably has something to do with it. I coast to stoplights and don't accelerate hard. Are there any other special tricks? I saw a post somewhere on this list (I can't find it now) that said to the effect, "If you're not getting 42mpg you're not driving correctly." Well, my question is, what is "correctly?"
