    Hello,
    I couldn't easily find it but is there a thread where people discuss their MPG numbers with the Prius Prime and the HV mode only? There's many threads where drivers do charge ("1200 miles with just one tank!" kind of deal), but didn't find one where the EV battery was disregarded in the analysis.

    I've read about hypermiling and got my Prius Prime 2 weeks ago. Drove 240 miles from Boston to NY purely in HV mode (the EV battery was basically depleted at 2% from the start). I used Pulse n Glide, Warp Stealth, DWB, and all of that stuff you find about the previous Gens of Prius.

    I ended up with 76mpg. I'm really new to the community (and these vehicles) so I just want to know if this is what people are typically getting. Thanks!

    I get 60mpg in HV Mode without giving it any thought or effort. Less in Winter.
