Hi everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster! I got my TCH 2 weeks ago, and recently have been trying out Pulse/Glide methods while minimizing the battery usage like I've been reading about.

It sounds like the Glide mode, where you are in Drive with no arrows going to or from the battery, is where you want to be, but like other TCH owners, I find this nearly impossible for more than a few seconds.

However, shift into Neutral, and all the arrows vanish! The engine can shut off in Neutral but I haven't tried this more than a couple times. I shift back into D when braking for regen since I didn't see any regen happening in N.

The only issue is shifting between D/N frequently may wear the transmission. I guess my question for everyone is, do you P&G your TCH, if so, how, and otherwise, is anyone getting better than 36-38mpg in stop&go city/urban driving? My problem is, in my town, everyone drives 50 miles per hour on 35-45MPH streets!!
