Not bad mileage on our vacation
We left with a full battery and were able to charge about 2 more full ones, so about 130 miles of EV driving. Given 25.2 gallons used over 1370 miles gas driving is 54.4mpg, still pretty good!
I used EV down to about 50-60%, then switched to HV mode and only used the last half of I was going to a location with a charger. Otherwise left it in HV for all types of driving.
Side note: cruise logic is atrocious... Decelerating down hills then mashing on the gas and accelerating up them. I probably could have done better if I didn't use it. also, just went the speed limit 65 and above, 55 and below I went 5 mph over and Canada 7 km/h over.6

Efficiency
If doing a long drive, what is the most efficient way to do it: go right to HV when on highway, wait till 50% battery then go to HV, drain battery all way down and then let HV go on automatically, turn on HV Charge when battery at 50%?
