    Just got back from a day trip tooling around the North Carolina foothills in which I was pleasantly surprised at the reported MPG. I'm elated actually! My personal best up to this point (for normal city/highway miles) was mid-50's.

    Don't have any "secrets" to share, I just followed the advice of the hypermiler guru's here on PC… Anticipate stops and traffic ahead, try to keep acceleration within the ECO range, etc… But I always considered traffic flow and safety first. Got to see the top bar of the battery indicator light up a different color while "jake-braking" a time or two.

    End result (see attached HSI pic): 85.8 miles, 63.6 mpg, 31 (avg.) mph

    From past experience, the actual mpg is usually about 5% less than the on screen display, so that still puts me over 60 mpg. Woo-hooo!
