If your gauge and tank are the same as mine, 150 miles puts you at around 60 MPG. Sometimes my guage will show higher than it really is and then drop a few seconds latter to the real level and I say to myself, WTF? Sometimes this happens all during the time I'm in EV mode and could not have burned any gas.
If I get to 235 or better miles at the 1/2 tank mark, I'm still hypermilling at 40+ MPG when I fill up.

I was amazed at 150 miles with the needle dead set on 3/4 tank. I topped the tank off right to the top. I did about 125 miles on country roads and the highway. And about 25 miles in city traffic that has a 25-35
mph speed limit (lots of stop and go with most of it in EV). So far I am VERY impressed with this vehicle. Its a quiet ride, the Navigation and 6 disc changer work flawlessly. Only issue I have found so far is this strange vibration with the music when the moonroof is open, and your slowing to a stop. Haven't figured that one out yet.
