Did a ~30 km trip today and got 61.3 MPG on the FCD. Temp was around 12°C, it was rainy and windy, and I got some traffic. With a passenger. Pretty happy with that! The EBH helped alot when I started, I could definitely see the difference between a cold start and a 2 hour EBH start
.
Also, I have the Insight #95, FWIW. I think that my 144v IMA battery is strong, I read alot on the subject on IC and from what I've learned, when the battery take alot of regen and assist to increase or decrease, this means that your pack is in good shape. I can not compare because I only have one Insight
, but I think my pack is pretty stong. It has been changed in 2007 on the garantee. The IMA Battery Gauge toggles from 19 bars to 1 bar. I've never seen it at 20 bars. [EDIT : Saw it at 20 bars recently, 12/04/2014]
