How do you get the best real-world MPG?
- Use the regenerative braking by easing off early at lights rather than hard stops.
- Keep tires at the recommended pressure, especially in cold NW Indiana months.
- Use Eco drive mode for stop-and-go traffic on the commute.
- Avoid long idling; the hybrid system already shuts the engine off when it can.
