What the dealer and mags don't tell you:
Always drive in L range. This is not low gear. It is maximum regeneration. Chop the throttle and it slows like high compression manual trans.
Always drive in Sport Mode. More fun.
3585 miles now, and it's used 7.8 gallons of gas, and used $93 worth of electricity.
BUT... It's not the economy that makes it fun to drive. Can you imagine driving for months and never stopping at a gas station?

Wow that is pretty good.
convert that $93.00 into gallons of gas. say 3.50 per gallon and you are getting over 100mpg
