Dear Joe,

Congrats!

I have found in the few weeks I have had mine that the TCH rewards you for your careful and "conscious" driving. It certainly has changed my approach to driving, even though I don't consider myself to be trying to do anything very extreme to seek hyper FE.

My last ride was a BMW X-5, and I tended to drive over the speed limit (it was too easy!). With the TCH, I am driving at or under the limit on most roads. My wife can't believe how much my driving style has changed! Also, I have two motorcycles and if I want to thrash asphalt the sportbike is much preferable.

My first tank was 39.3 MPG, the second 41.6 and the third (I am still working on it) is 42.7 so far. I don't expect to see continuing improvement as the tanks accumulate. I assume that there is some limiting range of FE that I'll get into for good. But the car is already performing better than I expected, and I am truly pleased with its overall feel and fuel economy. My gas consumption has dropped to 45% of what it was with the X-5. That helps to think about when the montly payment is due!

Enjoy!!
