    Why does the mileage vary so much with my pip? Sometimes I go 5 miles further on the same roads at the same speeds with a full charge. Also should I keep the. Eco switch on when running with Ev ?

    generally speaking, it's weather related, if you think you're driving in the same manner. eco might help you accelerate a little slower, but that depends on your foot. it also cuts back the a/c a bit to allow for more ev miles.
    can you give us a description of your drive and the most and least amount of ev miles used?
    also, are you sure the engine isn't coming on?

    Yeah, it's kinda frustrating after you craft a good measured response.

    Heck, I got ignored earlier this week after sending an important and useful personal message to a long-time friend on FB. He just carried on posting his usual daily stream of stuff. You can go through stages: anger, resentment, distain, pity, I-don't-give-a-hoot.
