Default Re: Newbie needs suggestions to increase MPG

GaryG,

Thanks for the reply! I have read several of your posts and they are where I found most of my information. I will check out the links you posted. I think I read alot of stuff in your posts about using the 'L' shift position. Everything I tried so far didn't seem to do what I expected except for using it to coast to a stop. Is there anything else I should be doing with the 'L' shift position?

TimK: I have about 2500 miles on my FEH. Sorry for you, but glad that I am not the only one here who has low MPG! I did get about 34 MPG (on the Nav system display) on a 1.5 hour 50 mile trip going into LA in bumper to bumper traffic last week. Not what I would call fun driving however!

Doug

P.S: I get about 27-28 MPG currently. I thought that green hybrid signature was on all messages, but I just figured out I had to set it up!
