    EV driving is cheaper these days, and there is no wear and tear on the ICE. Moreover, the EV mode is a lot more responsive with higher torque, and it's quieter. However, I have a condo, and the outlet in my garage doesn't run through my meter. I limit my usage to about one charge per week or less, and I have a plug-in meter to monitor my usage.

    Oh, I see. Yeah, with not so convenient plug-in setup, I can see why you are paying the higher price of gas.

    I am still getting a DTE of 729 mi with my odometer at 17,843 mi. It is not close to my all-time record of 768 mi, but that is because I have been driving faster.

    DTE was 523 on my last fillup which was inline with what I had previously been getting. It’s been pouring rain rain this past tank of gas which has forced me to drive slower, so I think lower mpg from rain has been offset by higher mpg for driving slower.

    DTE was 540 on my last fill-up. That was the first time I’ve seen a figure north of 530. I attribute it to the rainy weather during that tank of gas making me drive slower than normal which I guess offset the added inefficiencies of driving in wet conditions.

    DTE Mean in A Car light will still be blinking until you refuel the tank. The DTE mode can also activate momentarily, particularly when driving rounding curves or uphill as it shifts the fuel in the tank.

    My DTE last Monday night. It is only 702 miles. I must have lost my hypermiling skills. :cry:
