u would get more kms with econ on but it does pull lazy with it onVexXx Dogg wrote:On my first tank of fuel on the 2015 hybrid.
Got it with 1/4 tank, cost 120 to top up.
Doing a full tank measure all now. Crossed 400kms, on half tank.
I don't like to go too low on fuel, so I'll have to average figures when it hits the last 1/4.

I've also been monitoring how the instant km/l figure varies depending on the charge state of the batteries.
Driving with a depleted battery @ 71km averages about 20 km/l
Driving with a full battery @ 71km averages 30-35 km/l
I've done that test on the same stretch of road (Southern main road, Caroni) both with no traffic, around the same time at night, with and without A/C, SEVERAL times.
Pulse and glide is my friend. Any slight decline brings a smile to my face as I watch those numbers go up.
My issue is usually that morning traffic usually has me burning to pull off then abruptly at a standstill with little room to regen.
It sucks but it's still WAY better than my old Fielder.

I asked this question in the Aqua Thread but I noticed you spoke about the pulse and glide technique. My foot is heavy. From what I understand, to benefit from fuel economy of these vehicles, naturally the aggressive driving will have to stop, but is it that you really have to focus on maintaining a certain threshold or subtle driving style or is it something that kicks in automatically when cruising say on a main road or something? The Aqua is cheaper but I'm leaning to the Fielder because of the space.

In my regular ole car, i get 420km to 40l gas. This gives 25mpg for the most part. This is with a heavy right foot.
I use my vezel.for Uber. And I Uber full time. I'm on the road all day everyday.Strugglerzinc wrote:Does anyone drive their hybrid as they would a normal car?

So that's more than a normal car from home to the office and back.

It varies honestly. Depends on the road. Sometimes you're on a nice smooth road and want to stay in ev mode so I adjust to suit. But I still achieve 650/700kmStrugglerzinc wrote:Work_to_own wrote:I use my vezel.for Uber. And I Uber full time.

Distance covered is less important than driving style for my question. Do you drive like you would with a normal vehicle or have you become a "hybrid driver"?

I'll put the car in PWR mode every day.
A/C colder than normal (which i don't really like)
"Mash out" every so often (without endangering others of course)
I'll even turn off my dashboard so I can't even watch to see how I'm doing.
