Gotcha.

The Ford Fusion hybrid has an indicator on the dash that will tell you exactly how far you can press the accelerator while in EV mode without provoking an ICE restart. That would be useful, eh?

Been working on pulse & glide at all? That's where you'll punch out the really crazy numbers.... and all with your right foot. No fancy dancing around the cockpit, limbs flying, like drivers of regular cars.
