Can someone please confirm this and correct and add some more suggestions. |
I would add:
4. Use ECO when possible. The ECO button puts mileage first, and comfort second. The TCH uses EV more and shuts off the ICE more. Note: Max heat/AC or defrost disable ECO.
5. Increase tire pressures to 40psi if you are comfortable doing so. I find it helps mileage, handling (in dry and wet weather too) an improves the responsiveness of the steering.
6. Avoid sustained speeds over 65mph (105
kph)
