Has anybody produced or know if there is a fuel economy versus speed chart for the TCH. It would be interesting to see at what highway speed fuel efficiency starts to suffer significantly. The TCH should be better in this respect than most cars due to its low .27 drag coefficient.


[QUOTE=WVGasGuy]4 Lane Roads: On a (semi) flat trip to Ohio I get 41 and my wife gets 38. On a hilly trip to Charlestion I get 41 to 42 and my wife gets 37 (more extreem differences). My son borrowed the car and took the Charleston trip and with 5 people in the car and driving at 75 (not practicing hybrid techniques) he got 32.5. Not bad as I'm sure the weight and 75 miles per hour driving had a lot to do with it. But that does show the differences in hypermiling and normal driving.

I'm guessing my wifes procedure is typical of what one could get with a cross between normal driving and still practicing good FE tips.

Lately with it cooling down I am getting 45 mpg on this current tank on local 40 to 55 miles per hour rural roads.[/quote]
