larryh Posted July 7, 2013 at 09:32 PM Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 at 09:32 PM (edited) I think the Energi is very efficient. This is the display from the trip odometer for my trip home today in hybrid mode: It was 92 degrees and I had the air conditioner set to 73 degrees the entire time. When I first started out, the power consumed by the air conditioner was between 4 and 5 kW. It later dropped to less than 1kW for the remainder of the trip. The first 22.5 miles were in EV mode until the battery depleted. I then reset the odometer to measure the mileage for the rest of the trip (I missed the first 0.5 mile of hybrid mode before I finished resetting the trip odometer). The trip was on highways and freeways. There was a lot of traffic so I wasn't able to go the posted speed of 70 mph most of the time. You can determine the average speed for the trip from the display. You have to allow a couple of minutes for stop lights and setting up the camera to take the picture. The clock keeps running even when you are stopped. I wish the console kept track of average speed. I compute the average speed to be around 53 mph. The MPGe for the entire trip, including the miles in EV mode, was 63 MPGe. Edited July 7, 2013 at 10:41 PM by larryh Energized 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markn455 Posted July 8, 2013 at 12:11 AM Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 at 12:11 AM I suspect that if you had changed the display to show MPGe rather than MPG you would see the higher mileage (assuming it can take negative consumption into account, i.e. more charge in the battery at the end of the trip than when you started).Mine says 62.+ MPG. I have seen some images that folks have uploaded showing they have set it to show MPGe. Mine shows MPG. What I can't figure out is how to change it between MPGe and MPD. Anyone know how to change it?

86Mets Posted July 20, 2013 at 02:50 PM Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 at 02:50 PM I got my energi about 2 wks ago. Due to my garage door having some problems I couldn't plug in for a couple of days. My commute is about 35 miles round trip local driving with lots of stop and go. Max speed about 45 mph which i reach occasionally. Over 3 days i avg about 43-44 mpg with ac on temp was 90's. My old mazda3 would avg 24 mph for the same trip. So far I love it!!! Just wish I could get it to read my texts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
