One of our regular posters has written a FAQ for the FEH and actively posts. I have no doubt you'll soon receive a pointer to his excellent document. However, you could help by adding a couple of things to your profile: (1) location, (2) type of FEH (2 wheel or 4 wheel drive.) It also helps to know a little about your typical driving profile:
  • daily trips - typical distances, city/highway, type of terrain
  • fuel - straight gas, ethanol, brand
  • maintenance - tire pressure, engine oil level, last alignment results
  • operator(s) - just one or several
  • recent weather
You may want to start recording your mileage in the GreenHybrid database. Many of us used our own records to figure out what works and doesn't work.

GOOD LUCK!
