I strongly disagree. The first 2 miles of my commute is 25 - 45 mph. By that time the trip mpg gauge is just barely registering (25 - 26 mph). I then get on the highway for about 10 miles on flat roads (2 overpasses). At first the mpg gauge sits around 35 - 40 mpg. After a couple of miles the SOC is as high as the TCH willn normally allow and the mpg gauge is sitting in the 45 - 55 mpg range. This is doing about 60 - 62 mph in a 55 zone. The last 4 miles of my commute are local roads, with about 1/2 35 mph or under. This allows for about 2 miles of EV mode. With this commute it's difficult to get under 40 mpg.
