Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 22, 2006 3:55 pm) Most times the tank average would be 32-34 mpg but sometimes it would be 27 mpg. There was no way to identify why one tank might be lower than another. now with the Fuel Consumption graphs this can be measured and quantified even for limited durations. This Fuel Consumption graphing would be very very useful in every vehicle. It would show clearly the effects of different conditions and different ways of driving. You may be right about ICE's being affected somewhat less by these conditions. But any estimate is an SOTP one. |

Replying to: lessachs (Dec 22, 2006 3:49 pm) Did you mean to say, "my best in town mileage is 30 MPG" ????? In a 2007 TCH, you are only getting 30 MPG in city driving? On dry roads? At speeds of 25-45 MPH? That cannot be true, or something must be wrong with your car or the air in your tires must be about 20 PSI. My 61-yr-old mother was here last month (who had never before driven a hybrid and is not a slowpoke per se) and she drove my TCH in Phoenix city driving and her lowest for 140 miles of driving was 35.3 MPG. I had to wonder how she got that bad of mileage, because I would have to drive like a maniac to get below 35 MPG. If you are getting 30 MPG in the above conditions (dry road, speeds of 25-45 MPH, and tire are at least 32 PSI) then one of two things are happening: 1. You are driving the car too fast and too hard. 2. There is something wrong with your car. There is no other explanation. Getting only 30 MPG in a normally-performing TCH is almost impossible. PS I thought of another possibility. If you are in REALLY COLD weather, and all your "in town" trips are 5 miles or less, you could probably do as low as 30 MPG because the car is never getting heated up enough to use the HSD system properly.

Replying to: mjones12 (Dec 25, 2006 2:30 pm) Not everyone on this board would agree with you. I have an overall average of 39.2mpg, so I'm doing my part. I typically drive under the limit. However on this trip I wanted to make some time. Gettin 32 mpg is still doing my part as my last car, Infiniti FX45 would have gotten about 15 mpg driving at that speed. Then again, and I've said it in previous posts, I'm not an environmentalist, although I don't mind that my car is better for the environment than most, I simply wanted to save money and at the FE I'm getting and the tax credits I've gotten, I've more than exceeded my expectations. While I do most of the time, I don't plan to drive under the speed limit all the time to obtain maximum FE numbers. |

Replying to: lessachs (Dec 22, 2006 3:49 pm) I get better mileage than my wife. I made a 50 mile trip on 12/24 when the outside temperater was between 40 and 50, and I average over 40 with about 75% highway. I'm happy with the gas mileage and I can understand the gas mileage may fluctuate due to driving condition. I don't think your car is doing anything wrong. |

Replying to: larsb (Dec 26, 2006 5:36 am) I remember driving around Phoenix and I wondered about how relaxed a drive it was. Synchronized traffic lights, miles between them, no starting, stopping nor racing for the next green. In Montreal, I regularly drive 15 miles to a downtown customer's. On some days, I get 38+ mpg, while on other days I only get 25 mpg on the same course (all numbers are US mpg). All this because of stop signs and traffic lights. Since I've had my TCH, I even changed some of my routes to save up to 40% in fuel. My tire pressure is 36-38 psi. |

Replying to: larsb (Dec 26, 2006 5:36 am)  Most of my trips are short..less than 5 miles to and from work. Tire pressure is 34. I changed to synthetic oil at 1500 miles. My driving sytle is average. I'm taking the car to the dealer tomorrow to make sure everything is o.k.

Replying to: itsaraid (Jan 04, 2007 4:13 pm) Hybrid system - 100K/96 months Powertrain - 60K/60 months Corrosion - 60 months/unlimited miles Emission comp - 80K/96 months Restraint sys - 60K/60 months Basic - 36K/36 months The hybrid battery and emission sys warranty is longer if your vehicle is bought in a state with Calif's emission system. It seems to me that the risky stuff is well covered already. I didn't buy one. Extended car warranties are generally the most profitable option sold by dealers. I've never bought one and over the years have saved more than enough to now pay for any possible post-warranty repair and be money ahead. Good luck. You're getting a great car. |
