    What average does your ODO screen show?

    I can easily average 2.6l/100 on one trip - but overall, it's averaging 4.1 - but then, I more-or-less "just drive it".

    Average low 60 mpg by tank, drive in Eco mode and I have a sticker on the rear bumper who says "0 to 60 eventually" :D

    I must have told you a million times not to exaggerate!! :ROFLMAO:
    If you aim for higher MPG you must expect acceleration and everything else to drop off...
    .. but if you floor it - even in ECO mode - it will be sharp off the mark. No, not blistering, it's true, but instant torque from the electric motor is surprisingly good.
