Re: 2014 Accord Hybrid Range
I just bought 2015 accord hybrid touring, My range as displayed on trip computer was 650 miles, I have driven in city for about 160 miles now, avg was 41.7mpg, I have never seen battery at full charge, does anyone know how to full charge it.

Re: 2014 Accord Hybrid Range
Under normal circumstances you will never see it at full charge. That's on purpose, the software running the system strives to maintain the state of charge within a range much narrower than fully discharged to fully charged. This is to extend the life of the battery. If you were to go down a very long hill, regenerative braking would probably fully or nearly fully charge the battery. The camry hybrid I had was that way. The computer would also get rid of the "extra" just as soon as it could.

When I say major, I feel those 4 should be factory installed items on every vehicle.
Sorry for the late reply.

I'm currently at 730 miles on this tank. The fuel gauge shows 2 bars left, though it has been showing that for about 40 miles. I suspect it will drop down to one bar soon. The low fuel light came on not long after it dropped from 3 bars to 2. This tank has had some a/c use, over 1/2 highway driving, some of which has been at 55 mph with the a/c off. I've pumped the front tires to about 41 psi, the rears to 35.

Final disposition on that tank: 760 miles on 15.06 gallons, for total mpg of 50.46. The car's lie-o-meter said 50.9, so that's not a bad discrepancy. The car currently has about 1200 miles on it, I expect that there's some more break in improvement to be had over the next couple thousand miles.

Next tank was 903 miles. Indicated range was at zero, all bars off on gas gauge. This is driving less than 50 mph on the interstate 100 miles a day, 5 days a week, (with hazard lights flashing), front tires aired up to 44 psi, rears to 40, no a/c use. When filling the tank I always stop when the pump first clicks off. I'm going to drive more normally for this tank, some folks don't notice hazard lights flashing until they're pretty close. I just wanted to see what the car could do if driven purely for mileage.
