I live in Tampa (not hilly at all!) and try to drive as conservatively as possible. The maximum mpg that I can get is 29.1 right now (it has been the worst since the last fill up). I was getting 32 mpg prior to that if I tried really hard. I notice that per the display, the engine is kicking on mostly all the time with the battery seldomly being used. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've had my car about 9 mos. now and was expecting much better mileage. I also did have to have the main battery pack in the trunk replaced in under 2000 miles. I can't help but think that something is not working properly in my car, but the Service Manager insists my car has no problems. I also can ONLY get my mpg up if I drive my car on the highway, opposite of what the hybrid cars are supposed to do.

Any feedback would be much appreciated!
