    Second tank (first click to first click on same pump) on my 1-month old "vee" got me 49.9 MPG (Fuelly-calculated), driving 95% of the time in ECO mode.

    About 20% of the 464 mi. I drove on this tank was city, 70% to/from work (mostly 4 lane hwy w. lights, rolling hills), 10% freeway.

    Temps in the 80's & 90's and I added about 4 lbs to each of the tires half way thru the tank so they're 40 PSI all around.

    Happy, happy, joy, joy. :)

    420 miles on the tank.
    7.9 gals to fill
    Calculated actual mileage: 53.1
    Mileage shown on car: 54.8

    Note that I drive using the cruise control WHENEVER I can, including using it to drive through my neighborhood at 25 mph (speed limit). The lowest you can cruise is 23. I also use eco mode , and EVwhenever I pull away from a stop sign.
