It was not that many years ago that the idea of people from every corner of the country trading infomation so quickly and with such ease, was not even on the horizon...oh sure, Bill Gates knew but wasn't telling you and I.

Thanks for your help. One of the posts pointed out what I was doing wrong. My driving habit (for years) has been to take the car of out gear and glide for maybe 100 to 300 yards before coming to a stop or hitting the gas again.

Well, that's fine every car but this one. Now that I've come to realize that the HCH will only recharge the assist battery with the car in gear, it's made all the difference.

I'm maintaining a good charge and my MPG is improving....cause the assist battery is helping more often rather than always recovering.
