Shocked more than the diff between 75 and 80 mph on the highway is only a few small mpg hits. I’m assuming the gap isn’t that big since the hybrid power train is mostly using the engine at these speeds and only switches to ev mode for a few seconds
I go 80-85 often in the Sonata and on a nice flat road with little wind I get about 1.5 to 2 miles of pure EV mode. I need to pay attention to how often it triggers. Seems like once every 6-10 miles but I haven't really paid close enough attention. There also aren't that many flat stretches more than about 10 miles.
