    This is not correct. I use cruise everyday to work, 60mph - 70mph, 60 miles round trip (51 of them on the highway). I am in EV about 25% of the time on the highway, with cruise on. If you take cruise off, you can trigger EV by getting off and back on the gas.

    Yes, I revised that. See post #13 in this thread. The point is that you can spend even more time in EV if you do not use cruise control (and pay attention to what is going on with the Load readings).

    Agree. Sorry to have missed that.
