    I haven't been charging it even though I get to charge it at work for free. Got the car mainly for carpool. But surprisingly, I'm getting an average of 60 MPG, not bad at all. My 2010 got 52 only.

    The PiP not plugged in should yield a slightly higher fuel economy than the regular Gen3 if all other variable are the exact same. It is mainly due to efficiencies of less losses upon energy transfers into and out of the battery.

    wow, you must really drive like a grandma. I can't even get that if I charge once a day.
