Just an update, since some have asked. I love the combo. I am getting 42 mpg per tank when I really want to get good MPG and 37 mpg if I drive it like I stole it and run 85+ down the highway with no regard to mileage. If I hyper-miled city only, I think 48-49 is a sure thing, perhaps I could...

I am sure someone here with a ton more experience will jump in but here is how I see it:
1.) When the WHITE bar says HYBRID, both ICE and Electric motors are running, in this stage, the shorter the bar, the better the mpg. This is why that bar does not have a box like the others... because you...
Yeah I looked at those but it wasn't aggressive enough for the look I was going for. Looks like a fantastic practical option though for sure. I won't lie, I leaned a bit toward the looks side on my choice...but not too far.
One note: I should have not used tire shine in the photos. I have found...
The pump lies too unless you are willing to stand there until it's pouring out of the filler neck, which is not recommended on today's vehicles.
With my Excursion I kept a spreadsheet for 2 years on the difference between first pump shut off and full to the filler neck and difference in pumps...
