Nice !! I got 535 miles with 13 gallons on my first fill up yesterday.41.1mpg I thought that was great. mostly highway. In my defense, I am just learning how to drive the hybrid lol i’m really liking this truck. It drives good quiet and comfortable.

My driving style is pretty consistent.
The day to day differences are usually the number of green lights I hit out of the 31.

People may like to say "one direction must be all downhill". Nope.

Please note photos 2, 3, and 4 above are consecutive trips.

I just got 40.8 mpg for a bit over 500 miles, including a 300 mile freeway trip from Las Vegas to San Diego (!). Maybe it was helped by the loss in elevation?
At about 2800 miles now and it seems to be getting better over time.

I would love to see those numbers . Maybe one day when I just go pick up the mail at the box at the end of the road

Some people say "short trips with high MPG doesn't mean much".

They do when you put about 60 high MPG trips on one tank.

I've been playing with Hybrids since 2005.

They are great for stop n go. Phenomenal.

You have to choose what you envy.
High MPG or Freedom to travel at high speeds. In city congestion I have no freedom to drive high speeds.

Out on the open highway at high speeds I'm getting 3x.x MPG in my truck just like your truck.

I peaked.
I posted.

Now I'm going to start using the air conditioning.

Awesome mileage!!!

BTW, up here north of the woodchucks I have more than 70 feet of elevation change just getting out of my driveway.

Make sure you turn on the EV Coach screen and the Brake Coach screen, via the steering wheel menu settings. Together, they can teach you how to maximize your Hybrid's mileage.

Use the EV coach to try and stay in electric mode, using the Go Pedal judiciously.

Use the brake coach screen to anticipate approaching red lights and other stops. If you score 100 on the brake coach, 100% of your braking energy was done by using regenerative braking to charge the HV battery, instead of using friction via brake pads / rotors.

Brake coach is integrated in EV coach.
You don't need both. It's a bit redundant. But it's there if you like it.

EV Coach, when braking, if you never turn the bar white, you got 100%.
