Thumbs up First tank refill today...

I finally got a chance to put gas in my new HCH today. Even with a lot of learning how to drive a hybrid for good gas milage and tires at 32 psi for the first 200 miles, i managed to average 45.7 mpg on my first tank full. I cant wait to see if the 40 psi and experience in driving, improve my mpg's....I wanted to get 500 miles on my first tank, but i stopped as soon as the last fuel light went out and it held 10.5 gal. I guess i could have made it easily but the first time i didnt want to chance it. Thanks for all the great advice on this forum !!!!!

Nice! Great FE on first tank! When my last fuel light went out, I needed 10.4 gallon. That's pretty darn consistent...
