, 70? I'm sure flat vs hills, slow grades vs steep all make a difference I'm just currious. Btw I've got about 70miles on gas and I'm at 40.2 Why don't you try a few scenarios out for yourself and see which is best? No one can answer what's best for you as your terrain, miles you drive, etc are all relative your conditions.Sorry if wrong place BUT... I have a question. As most new Volt drivers are... I'm becoming obsessed with the best mileage. I will be about 75/25 electric/"fuel" miles. What is the optimal speed to "drive gas"? I'm sure highway is probably the most efficient time to use hold correct? Is there an optimal speed? 60, 65, 97, 70? I'm sure flat vs hills, slow grades vs steep all make a difference I'm just currious. Btw I've got about 70miles on gas and I'm at 40.2
around 215ish overall mpg with somewhere around 350 miles +-20.
Loving it btw
I personally have not driven on any fuel miles except one time where I ran out of EV miles 2 miles away from home. I've also had two EMM sessions.
If it wasn't for the stupid FMM every year that I've not had yet, I'd have anticipated not having any fuel miles at all as my 75 miles of EV range every day is more than enough for me.
I average around 60-65 MPH on the highway BTW. I'm "Voltser" on Voltstats.
There is absolutely no reason to use hold mode or mountain mode if you know you'll have enough miles to drive back and forth on EV alone. No matter what regime you are in, EV mode is always more efficient. Using the engine is only a "must" in my book.
