Thanks Droid13.

You are right, around 40 to 50 KMH, I have seen ICE on. When in idle mode, it is still using gas.

Are you from Canada?

Temp hers in Regina is around 5 degree C in the morning and day time is around 15 to 20. Today morning it was 1 C and is expected to go around 24 C for high.

I am on first tank and I have around 650 KMS on Odo meter and tank is just over 1/4 mark. Display says I should get around 200 KMS more.

If you are in Canada, what mpg you get in winter and summer?

At the end of my first tank, I am going to start a new post describing all the conditions including temp, driving distance, driving speed, number of turns, number of stop signs and lights, road conditions etc and also include all the stats you get in display. Ideally I wouold like all Canadian owners of TCH to respond to this post describing their situation and fuel efficiency.
