    OH MY! I never imagined my PIV would get this great of MPG??? So all you suckers out there only getting 199 MPG can S&%# it! I hooked up the ScanGauge 2 and I am getting close to 1600 MPG!! I am using "eco mode" and "Auto EV". I actually saw a value above 1600 but I didn't get any proof of it. It's hard to take a picture while driving. But, pray tell, it must be true! I attached a picture for all of you non-believers out there! I couldn't get that good of mileage from a cubic foot of air! And now it's been documented on the internet so we know it's true! I'm not sure what that RPM thing means. I won't be using much gasoline with this car!!! Oh yeah, I know we shouldn't sell things on this blog...but if you take this post as serious...I've got some pristine swamp land to sell ya! LOL ;););):D:ROFLMAO::D IMG_1418.jpg

    On EV, your mpg should be infinity.

    Theoretically, yes. But if you factor in the square root of the average tire pressure divided by the state of charge and use that as a ratio with the Temp of the cube root of the ICT multiplied by the OCT you'll come up with a more accurate number.:eek::D:ROFLMAO::D;)

    Have had the car 15 months and have used 40 gallons of gas in that time. 12,500 miles in that time.

    If you never use gas....why get the Prime? Why not the Bolt? Sounds like you do not need the benefit of having a combination gas/ EV mode but strictly EV. I think all of the Primes would have equal MPG but it really depends on the combination of gas and EV, right? I could be wrong.

    Actually it depends on all the different loads,weather, configuration and driver differences. Don’t forget,
    every year there is our Christmas drive to Grandmas, 2700 miles, difficult in a Bev.
