I would basically look at that number as "reclaimed miles" that were used. My rav4 prime on the other hand actually has EV range. if it wasn't bad to not run the ICE for long periods of time I'd be able to EV only in that thing 90+% of the time because I'm often only driving ~20 miles round...

this is the experience I've had a few times. it should not be like this to any degree though. as far as I know MG1 should be spinning to counteract whatever the engine is doing and what we are experiencing seems like it is a control system failure.

Now that this thread has made it through all of the useful content I'd like to say that every time I see the thread title I get the milkshake song stuck in my head.
this is like when I bought my 2002 jetta vr6 12v and then the 2002.5 jetta vr6 was 24v with 25 more horses!!! SOB!!!! I didn't know they were going to change the engine.
