just drive and enjoy, the slower, the better. but if u want to squeze out the last drop, there is a lot to do. i´ll try to make a list of things to learn, in reasonably order:

1. understand the hybrid stages, if u have to drive a longer distance, head for S4 asap

2. accel fast, go slow

3. long, light braking is better than short and hard.

4. keep it warm

5. drive ultra short trips without cold start all elektric
