1966 Hybrid Mustang - 65% increase in MPG's!

Hi Everyone - I just want to share my latest numbers. My 1966 Mustang with a nearly stock 6 cylinder engine would normally see around 17 mpg's. With the electric hybrid motor I added, I achieve 22-24 mpg's with a range of 40-80+ miles. However when I lower the range to around 20 miles, I am seeing around 28 mpg's! This is about a 65% increase! This is all with normal driving and a small 2.8 kWh battery pack (~70lbs). I am hoping to start implementing some of your all's driving tips and mods someday soon. Cheers!
