    I know others have done this, but I was pretty excited to get all green bars all the way across my comsumption screen. In other words, I managed to go over 30 minutes averaging 100mpg for every 5 minute interval. Obviously I was going down a very long hill. There was one stop sign though, but I managed to get going with again with just the battery.

    Regards,
    Dave

    Well that's totally understandable. Best I've been able to do was for 4 5-minute intervals at the top.

    The drive from Reno to Sacramento can achieve similar results. Easy to see 50+ mile segments with over 100mpg (once over the Sierran crest it's all downhill). :)

    Grats!

    Yes, but regen is preferable to skidding off the road into the American River Canyon. :D

    Another fun milestone is the fastest speed driven without using any fuel (warp stealth). If you have a Scangauge, you can verify that the fuel is cutoff (0.0 GPH). My fastest warp stealth speed is 88 mph. I think that someone reported that the ICE will come on at 92 mph but I haven't tried gliding that fast yet.

    That's right, except with a couple of differences. My Average was only in the 40s because I didn't reset before I started. Also my current was also at 99.9mpg (my wife took the picture as I was still driving).

    I thought that it was prudent to pull over and get the camera since it was in the back. Also, I haven't been able to teach the dogs how to operate the camera (no opposable thumbs). :madgrin:
