Hi Jeff, I've been stunned by the mileage I am getting as well. This is the first car I've owned that I could consistantly exceed the EPA numbers with. I replaced a F-150 I bought in '85 with the TCH.

My numbers are calculated by the odometer reading and gallons used to fillup. The indicated tank mileage so far has always been higher - often 1 to 2 mpg higher. I drive it about the same as I did the F-150. I normally go anywere from the speed limit to 5mph under the limit. I accelerate faster with the TCH than I did driving the truck. I found if I baby the TCH, the mileage suffers. It is better to get up to speed in a reasonable time, and then back off to maintain speed. I drive mostly highway. My daily commute is 35 miles each way, about 28 miles is freeway. However, I often hit rush hour traffic going home, and can take an hour (sometimes two) to go the 35 miles. That lets the TCH use EV mode frequently for a number of miles at a time. I do try and manage the SOC so the ICE only runs climbing hills or accelerating when I'm in slow traffic.

I'm 49. I know I'm not as agressive a driver as some. I figure that I get there when I get there. However, I do floor it on occasion, even if it's not really needed
