Hi, I test drove an Outlander PHEV yesterday (New Jersey, USA) and I am expected back at the dealership to purchase the car on Monday. Before I make the plunge I was hoping that someone might be able to give me an idea what kind of gas mileage to expect with my commute?
I drive 78 miles each way to work. The first 22 miles is on a highway traveling at 58-60 mph with a few traffic lights. (It's a short ride from home to get to this road.) The remainder of the 56 miles is on a relatively flat super highway. The maximum speed on this highway is 65 mph. I would hope to use EV in combination with the serial mode. Would this be possible? What overall mpg should I expect. The bottom line, should I buy this car given my driving needs?
I apologize if a similar question has been posed elsewhere in the forum, but I could not find it if it was. Thank you all for your attention and help.
