Its been a while and I am almost at the end of my first tank being able to use the PHEV for most of the tank. The best commute to work I've had is in the mid 90s for mileage with the new DC to DC converter. I can tell its been tuned to monitor its own temperature and in the morning I get a lot more juice than the afternoons with the car sitting in the sun. This makes me happy that it won't burn itself out, yet sad since I don't get quite as much power. Still, the MFD says I've averaged 64 mpg over the tank. That is substancially higher than before, although not mind blowing.
I have yet to make my automatic arduino disconnect. It is still a necessary step IMO to getting the setup to run without the annoying babysitting that needs to be done currently.
