700 mile per tank club

[Connect]

I usually fill up around 3/8-1/2 a tank but I am usually on track for high 500's or low 600's. I think if I had a 'normal' week where I just went to and from work I could end up around 650 +. I regularly break 60 and as high as 66 according to the computer on my 25-27 mile drive home from work. To work I am usually high 30's to low 40's. Someone mentioned the heater seems to affect it more than the A/C so I am curious once I am not using the heater if it will improve.

I just entered the 700 mile per tank club. This was my second fill up The actual mileage at the pump was 49.1. This is a great little truck and I hope to get better mileage in the future when I learn more about driving it

I've read all the comment and you guys make me ill. I've got a First Edition hybrid and I get about 35 mpg. I drive with an egg under my foot and coast as much as I can. My problem is my roads, they are 90% township section roads, one mile and stop, one mile and stop. I've just about given up!

See posts like this and wonder why would anyone buy an ev. Lucky if you get 200 miles and a few hours to charge if you can find one that works
Even tho I have an ecoboost hybrids are here now and they work. Toyota was right.

Where I live, is very flat land. Many times the ICE will engage because the ev battery drops below 30%. I honestly am not trying to drive with an egg under my foot, I am simply driving my way in great driving conditions. I also hardly ever go more than 60 miles at a time. Just having fun in my ( excuse me - my wife’s ) Mav.

Joined the 'club' today.
My usual driving is definitely hybrid friendly (large majority small county roads with 45mph speed limits). I expect to almost always get 600, and occasionally 700+.

Calculated mileage just over 50 mpg.

If you're doing short stop & go trips, the heater affects it more than AC, at least that's been my experience. On highway, it's just the opposite

Enable the EV coach and enable the brake coach screens. Those can teach you how to get your best Hybrid mileage.

LOL I won't ever be in that club. I live by the rule, "1/2 tank is flat ass empty".

I think my real problem, other than too many electronic gizmos, is that the longest, no-stop drive I have is 5 miles on the Interstate highway. Everything else is a Section road, one mile and stop, over and over. I can't really keep the gas engine off but then my Ford mechanic says there may be as many as 40 things that can tell the ICE motor to turn on.
And on top of that I have to keep a trickle charger on it because I don't really drive too much. I don't remember having these kind of problems with my 64 Galaxie 500!

Thanks.... can't remember who told me this before (maybe you) but I haven't paid enough attention to notice so far
