Default Love my new '07 FEH

Picked up 1/19/07
Grey FWD, Premium, moonroof, no side air curtain.
Does beautifully in the snow.
Have almost 3K mi's. Have only kept fuel figures for last 1500 mi's. It's been really cold (10 degrees) here lately so economy has suffered but last 3 fills (12.5 gals) were all over 30 mpg calculated. NAV is about 1/2 mpg more than calculated. It's finally been into the 40's and 50's here lately and was even in the 70's today. Boy has mileage increased-- I have 400 mi's on this tank (76 mte) and NAV says 38.6 mpg ! ! ! ! I can't believe that I'm doing better than published city mpg, but wife has been in hospital and I've been taking back roads to visit. Work route is 30mi with 25 on the hiway. probably half of this tank is hiway. I'm learning to modulate gas pedal and stay in EV better and better.
Since I have NAV will the scangauge help me? I can see where I'd like to have the TPS reading so I'm sure I'm at max EV acceleration without starting ICE. Currently I use the charge/assist gauge. I'm a geek at heart and group buy is on--hard to pass on a deal. Any help, much appreciated.
