Spring and my first 1000 mile tank

With the arrival of warmer weather the fuel efficiency of my PIP has increased. I purchased gas for the first time 3 months.
Miles 1002.4
Fuel purchased 5.695gallons
~176 MPG
EV/HV = 73%\27%
Lifetime MPG 140.8

While my overall fuel efficiency has at least doubled (low February ~100 mpg: high April >200 mpg) my estimated EV range has only increased by ~8% (8.6 to the current 9.3). The biggest contributor to my improved fuel efficiency is the fact the ICE does not need to be warmed up.

Lifetime gas usage:
597 miles 15.7 gallons consumed
38 mpg

Not great! However, the majority of my HV were relatively short (10 mile or less) and up a relatively steep hill (the primary reason my EV range is relatively low).
