Point remains the same anyway -- the diff between 4 and 5 is miniscule as they're still both half-assist, which is the main thing to understand.

Good work 06hch2.
On a side note I tend to agree with Doug... 2-3 bars is more than sufficient and significantly less draining on the charge to continue your coast without losing momentum too quickly.
The EV glide is gold (well you could take your gas savings and purchase gold) and can, when used smartly, reduce MPG. With the most recent round of discussions I am again, top of mind, trying to play with mileage and noticing SIGNIFICANT decreases keeping the RPM on acceleration below 2K and utilizing glides again. Averaging 4.7 on my most recent tank. When not focused on mileage I have averaged 5.8.
A little focus is saving almost 7 liters of gas per fill. That savings provides me my free daily coffer at TH's. Annually that is $324.00 per year.
I truly do love the HCH and you can really appreciate the payoffs with the Hypermilers. They can enjoy 2 cups of coffe per work day for their efforts .
Cheers!!

I personally haven't managed 5 bars of ev-assist, but others have done it, and one (JordanCS, I think) even snapped a photo to prove it. Might just be a slight difference in the electronic component tolerances that allow some people to nick the fifth bar, while others will never get it no matter how hard they try.

4 is the max for me. Downhill, I think I can get 5, but aren't we essentially coasting then? If so, what's the point of coasting with assist (using IMA battery power)?
