i've read on the ford website is that you can improve the performance of the batteries if one kept their FEH in the garages rather than roasting in the warm sun. Since when one turns on their car in the hot, the car has to take time to cool down the batteries before they can be used, but in the cool garage the batteries can be used instantly without delay!

i got around 20 km a liter when i drove a civic 5 spd using advanced hypermiler techniques
and now I drive a salvage nwh20 prius that gets almost to 25 km/l with 192,000 km to date.
