I'm glad to see you quoting gpsman1, since he was the one I was referring to in my previous post. But there is another key element he has referred to in his posts too. He drives an 05 FED FWD model.
I'm not trying to belittle anyone, but we just need to keep these items in mind when reviewing any information.
As for the 2 mile range for battery usage in EV mode - it is also in the manual. Though it can be streched out by gliding. I've been able to pulse and glide for about 5 - 8 miles in EV mode while driving down a slight incline.
