Default HCH to FEH

Well I done did it, yesterday at 3:30 PM I went from a 48.5mpg (lifetime avg) Civic owner to an Escape owner. So far we are really digging the EV portion of it, 200 miles and we grin each time it goes all electric.
33.7 on the display is our worse trip so far and we have gotten 37+ a few times, very happy so far.
HCH to FEH notes:
**FEH +'s**
Smoother
Quieter
More Power
More Room
Road titties no longer a problem
Able to drive around property without dragging
Key less entry on door
**HCH +'s**
Better MPG
Trip A and B

Just keep in mind that the MPG display is skewed high. By calculation, mine is at least 2mpg higher than actual MPG.

The bumps in the road on the edges and that separate the lanes. Some are A cups but some are D's
