i got a question tho
are your batteries fully charged?
i don't think my battery has ever been fully 100% full it always hovers around 3/4 full
how are yours?

Sounds like my commute. I have been averaging 37 - 38 mpg driving about 8 miles daily roundtrip on local streets with stoplights; and an occasional spell of highway driving if my job requires a longer trip. I am driving more conservatively now, but unless I am bored, I don't use "pulse and glide" or any other hypermiling techniques.
At 3600 miles I am noticing an improvement in mileage (the car is breaking in) and I hope to be able to reach and sustain 40 mpg tanks in the near future. You'll do fine as long as you are patient and willing to learn from your TCH.
