Default Re: 2008 FEH "tweaked" for better City MPG

I've read many times the 08's had some "minor software tweaks" but never saw a number attached to that tweak.

Anyone know what else was "tweaked"?

Altho I'm almost 2k miles, I'm only on my 2nd tank of tracking. 32Mpg average for last 2 tanks, at least I'm consistant, but I love the 482 Miles To Empty !!! I'm sure if I did more city driving those numbers would increase, I can all ready get a good feel for EV mode, and feel I can maximize it most times. But since I live in the country, 98% of my driving is at highwy speeds, min 45 up to 60 mph usually. Now if it ever stops raining and summer actually starts like normal around here (100-110 days) I guarntee MAX AC will me used, but I still will beat the creap out of my mini van's 16.2mpg!!!!
