I agree on the EB. I purchase the lightest wheel and tire combo to replace the XL steel wheels. Anyone have an idea if lighter or heavier would be better on a hybrid considering the regen braking?

I suspect lighter would still be most beneficial on a Hybrid. You will definitely want the advantage of less rotational mass while accelerating. The tiny additional regen from a set of heavier wheels would not be nearly enough to compensate for the additional rotational mass that you have to get spinning in the first place.

Great looking Mav by the way!

For those that have had an Ecoboost for at least a few months, what are your mpg on the average? Is it almost 30 ?
Yes 29.5 eb 4k love it but just received the hybrid we had on order for almost a year 52.4 mpg driving it home

I wonder how many people are ordering an Ecoboost and a hybrid, but are just ordering an Ecoboost as a temporary because they assume they will get the Eco months before the hybrid. Then they will sell the Eco to the dealer, Vroom, Carmax, family member, etc.
Interesting options
