New personal best mileage 74.4 mpg

[MDmaverick]

Okay , this way a short 5 mile trip with ideal conditions. ( just filled at a Wawa prior to the trip home) . My conditions were 47degrees outside, very little elevation changes and little traffic and a constant speed of 40 mph.

What does this prove? Not much with the exception that the Maverick hybrid’s drivetrain responds pretty well with accelerator modulation. I was generally surprised at how often I could get electric driving for the majority of small trips.

My wife’s last gen RAV4 hybrid is similar but seems to instantly turn the engine on at the slightest pressure with the accelerator. The Maverick seems to have more leeway with the pedal. (My average electric only driving on my normal commute hovers between 25 to 30 percent)

Enjoy you weekend

Headed downhill into town on Saturday, I also got over 70 mpg for the first few miles - until it leveled off and the HVB needed charging. If only that would've lasted longer.

Engine braking down a mountain...

Drop it from moon get even better, however,
sooner or later the engine does what it has to do to recharge

Which doesn't really contribute to the thread...

What wasn’t sarcasm , the later it averages out I guess, because eng must operate to charge

In this "contest" no one wins and everyone wins.

There should be rules.
Like miles on a tank is a pretty good one.
All the rest is pretty arbitrary.
Best 5 mile trip / Best 50 mile trip doesn't mean much.

Now, a LOT of my photos are of 10 miles at 57 MPG. But I'm doing that every friggin' commute to work. Week after week.
With some weekend fun, my tank average was 52.9 MPG. In the warmest month.

You can see below where I'm at overall.


Miles on a tank has some weight to it.

After they fixed/replaced my wiring harness and updated grabby brakes problems.

Mostly gradual downhill through a windy canyon.

I routinely get 48-49.8 on my 17.5 mile each way for work. 7am, 5:30/6:30pm. stop and go on flat roads with only 1 overpass I go up. AC on 2 or 3 led lights the entire time, radio on too. Anywhere from 32 minutes to 55 min depending on traffic.
