Replying to: wvgasguy (Aug 10, 2006 6:33 pm) when he filled up he put in 14.2 gals I think--and he does not usually pump it to add a couple of extra bursts... so I know that there is more in the tank can't remember the exact mileage on the trip meter but about 470 I am not getting top MPG so far --33.2-33.8 avg mpg...

Replying to: loves2read (Jun 18, 2008 5:25 am) I'm getting the same MPG as you currently are. So far I've put a little over 500 miles on my 09 TCH. I'm halfway through my second tank. Like you, I also waited a while after the 0 cruising range and E on the fule gage to fill up. My first fill up was a little over 15 gallons. The manual states the total tank capacity is 17.2 gallons, so I guess we still have about 3 gallons left in the tank after reaching when 0 cruising range and E on the fuel gage.

Replying to: shazam3 (Jun 18, 2008 2:55 pm) I told him there were 2-3 gallons in there still--that the car was supposed to go about 600 on optimum mpg so we could go another 30 mi at least--but he would not even wait until we ate supper=== went to fill the tank right away--- did not want to take a chance on the tank going dry and not having enough juice in the battery...

Anyone notice a drop in mileage after an oil change. I noticed in the book it says 0- 20W is the best for max eco. I just had the oil changed with 5-20W. To tell the truth I've never seen 0-20W. I have only driven a little but it seems like my mileage dropped for 40 to 41 to 35 to 37. |

Is it normal for the mpg gauge to drop to 0mpg occasionally when stopped or decelerating? My husband thinks it has to do with the engine running the A/C. Also, I have a really hard time not dropping the mpg gauge to 10mpg or below when accelerating. And I really don't think I'm a "fast off the line" type of driver. A note after driving our new hybrid for a little over a week: I find it hard to not feel pressured to "prove" to the other drivers that my car can perform as well as theirs. And it sure would be nice if the dealership had offered some of the driving knowledge contained in this thread. Hybrid driving classes, maybe. Thank you, everyone for your input. |

Replying to: txgeek (Jul 22, 2008 11:47 am) That's a common struggle in all aspect of life. When you know something to be true, you don't need to prove it to others. I guess that's where the "smugness" comes from. |

Replying to: txgeek (Jul 22, 2008 11:47 am) It's indeed normal when stopped. If the engine is running and burning fuel, then you indeed are getting "0" miles per gallon at that moment. And this is an instaneous readout so that is correct.

Replying to: wvgasguy (Jul 23, 2008 10:02 am) Yes...but as soon as the engine is warm and the battery is charged up, the engine will kick off again while stopped, even with the a/c on. |

Replying to: txgeek (Jul 22, 2008 11:47 am) It is NOT normal for decelerating. It is normal when stopped, regardless of if the ICE is running. Any time you are moving, you are adding miles to the vehicle, and getting SOME kind of positive MPG; low perhaps, but never zero while the vehicle is moving. |
