Saturday was the perfect day to hit the Jersey Shore and the perfect day to hit a new record FE number (for us).

Congrats! It will probably get even better with time!
Slightly related ( only in that it is a Ford )... I rented a Ford Focus from an airport this week. Probably has lower psi in the tires ( looks like it ) and I'm getting 43.5 MPG on the highway ( 65 MPH ) with the A/C on low setting in Indiana. That's 43.5 in a cheap, but comfortable non-hybrid Ford.:) Color me impressed. -John |

Drove 38/39MPH in 40MPH zones to maximize EV. Slowly increased speed when approaching hills and neutral glides down the other side. I think the 85+ deg sunny day helped us alot too. |
