    Yeah! I thought I was making a mistake. I had to refigure about 3 times. I got 198.099 MPGe. And 216.336 EV MPGe.
    I just thought I would let markabele do it, so that it was done right. I must be close, you and I came up with about the same thing.

    If you drive about 15 - 20 mph when in HV and hit a few stop lights and stop signs and glide to stops really slow, you can get by with about 1 mile or less especially if it is 80 degrees or more then it warms up really fast!

    I also had 28 all EV trips of 19 - 21 miles in the last 3 weeks. Warm weather!:)

    Updated!

    Truly incredible! Congrats!

    The amazing thing is...if he would have cheated (within the rules) like many of the rest of us have done he would have blew way past 200 MPGe.

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm/? your right, never gave it a thought. Is that not cheating to fudge the numbers?

    As soon as I have recharged my battery, I just might go for a drive and use up all my electric and use 30 miles of gas, Since my other number is posted at least if I screw up I'm covered. I will post later this afternoon.

    Thanks, fortywok for the tip!

    Remember fortywok,
    Total miles is what really matters in the end, And you are really ahead buy a long ways!! Great Job!!(y):D

    After posting last night, thru all of this, my estimated EV range has really gone up.
    I left this morning and my estimated EV range was up to a new high 19.0 EV.
    I have never been this high before! :D

    Have you seen this purple battery after charging and turning the accessories on?
    I've seen it twice so far and it switches to green as soon as the motor is turned on.

    I have never used that screen, so I don't know.
    I have had a high of 22.1 all EV no HV ICE (internal combustion engine).

    Really it's learning the car. I have 10 years driving two prius. Lots of trial and error, but Speed kills, Drive like you have no brakes, feather the gas pedal to coast to stop lights and signs as much as you can. Rememeber to drive safe tho, don't hold up traffic.
    I know it's hard with traffic, just do your best.:)
