    The 5" MID screen brightness is adjusted with the rheostat on the left side. (i.e. it dims with the dashboard)

    I dont see any significant difference between eco and regular. I like eco better since im still getting used to the pedal. This is my best trip so far, this is from my daily commute to and from work includes some fairly steep hills.

    This is fun, eh?

    If no one is bothering me there's a little 9 mile drive I take in the country just for giggles. A few little hills. I managed it pretty well.

    I know! The mpgs we're seeing here are amazing. Has anyone kept 70mpg+ over a tank? Most are in the 50s or 60s.

    I had a "poor" 50mpg on my short test drive which was a cold start (I just couldn't wait to try one out!!!)

    70s seem insurmountable unless every trip made is over 3-4 miles. ;)

    New C2, have not tanked up yet. Just came back from Reno: 57.5 mpg with a overall average consumption of 70 mpg. Car has about 400 miles on it. I believe these figures beat all the Prius 1,2 and 3s. Not considering the PIP EV charge portion. And it is not broken in yet. This car is amazing!
