Getting better mpg than I thought I would
I've had my TCH for 4 days now and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised at the mpg I'm getting. Driving around town I can get high 37-38 with the A/C on, and mid-to-high 40's with it off, sometimes in the 50's. On the highway, I can easily get in the 40's without A/C.
I'm still new at this so I'm sure my "scores" will be even better in the future. I will say that I am being very conscious of the ICE and EV modes and doing my best to keep that ICE off.
On one of the 3 routes I can take to work, I got 46 mpg the very first time I tried it. There's a lot of 30 miles per hour roads and so was in EV mode a lot. I'm going to try to break 50. This is my daily commute we're talking about!
