One key not mentioned much , I live on gentle rolling hills so I pick up a little speed try not to pass 20% power going up the hill Coast down regenerating the battery.
Only engage eco mode on the highway. Never gotten beeped at for going too slow That's just me.
Above 60° outside I can achieve around 60 miles per gallon on most back road driving..
First two tanks were over 700 MI third tank 801 showing 20 miles to empty.

anybody hypermiling enough in their Hybrid to get 700 miles on a fuel tank... please, please, please don't drive in front of me on my commutes....

Have a buddy that owns a coffee service in new england. following behind school busses and hypermiling Prius are huge productivity sinks for his drivers....

Watch a video on hyper milling. Looks like too much of a pain to me.
I can easily get into the 700s just driving normal and nobody beeping at me
Keep power under 20% whenever possible under 10% most of the time. Outside temp above 60° and gentle rolling hills. Seems to be the Pinnacle for me.

I’m going to consider myself inside the 700 mile club. I don’t like running the tank so low, but had to get close enough.

The left over was not enough for tomorrow morning’s commute so I had to fill up.

I think you have the new high score. You could probably make it to 900.

 

[dags1207]

One way downhill doesn't count! Just kidding, that's pretty darn impressive

After many, many 600-650 tanks, finally managed a 700 (726) tank. Spurred on by more traffic than usual on my commute = slower speeds = 50-70mpg instead of a few 30-35 (when I do 75-80mph). That and the temperate/mild time of year, so no temp control going at all or very little for the entire tank. Love this micro-truck!

Awesome little truck for FE.
I drove some past the zero mark tapping into the reserve.

Neat fact/finding:

The Maverick uses less fuel than the Toyota Venza or Toyota Rav4 Hybrids in the city.

But the Maverick uses more fuel at highway speeds.

It's not meant to get a fuel mizer on the highway

I just had all six recalls performed on my '22. No drop in mileage.

Eco mode (and summer blend gas) rock.

Actual mileage by pump (13.8g @ first click) is 50.7.

Congratulations. In the back of my head I was wondering about the recalls changing my performance. Looks like you are on your way to 800 if you pushed it. It can be slightly addicting
