So, I read Tarabell's article and tried a few of the suggestions on my way home from work today.

The easiest thing to do was to keep the revs under 2k. Next, I played with EV-Assist. I wasn't difficult at all to get 1-3 bars of assist with the mpg pegged at 100 while on flat roads. Glide is obviously a breeze while going down hill. I featherd the gas a bit to keep the regen from slowing me down too much while coasting to a stop at lights. After a 13.4 mile trip home from work (no highway, mostly stop and go on local roads during rush hour) my jaw hit the floor when I saw 54.4 MPG. What was interesting is that my battery charge actually increased? I have been hanging low the last few days and the ICE has been forced to run to recharge. I obviously had just been pushing it too hard. I would never believe it if I didn't see the results for myself. WOW.

So, guess I'll be driving like a little old lady from now on

The ironic thing is it was actually nice to take my time for a change. Seems like a win win if I can get that kind of mileage while obeying the speed limit at the same time. I think highway driving will be more challenging though. Now I see how the city MPG can be better than hwy.

Thanks for links! I was bummed out with my mpg as of late. Now, at least I know it wasn't the car. I just need to learn how to drive all over again.
