Thats interesting.... Most find best mpg is from not using the electric part of most hybrids except to extending coasting of the glide in P&G or to sustain lean burn if equipped. There is a few papers published on the prius how its best to use gas for acceleration and electric to coast or maintain.
Hows the non hybrid part of the volt? Does it accelerate well for merging? Is it roomie for large adults? Does it handle well in wet or windy weather? Do you have to fight to keep it on the road or does it follow the curves? Can you ride the brake to a stop to max regen or is it difficult to modulate braking effort vs max regen?
