Took delivery of my PHEV around mid June and been using it to tootle quite happily in and out of central London, just drawing power from the battery then back to the office to charge - all the time enjoying the lack of a congestion charge to pay!
However, i had to undertake a round trip to Stafford last week - first long trip (approx 260 miles all told) and could almost see the fuel meter running down visibly!
I'm pretty sure that i shouldn't have used CHARGE mode having read previous threads, and also i didn't put it in SAVE mode which seems to be the thing to do.
Are there any other tips for conserving fuel and power on longer motorway runs and what's the optimal motorway speed for the PHEV in terms of fuel efficiency?
I really do like how well-informed a lot of the posters are here I purchased this vehicle primarily as a business decision but since taking possession of it my knowledge of all things electrical and automotive have increased exponentially! Thanks to all you knowledgeable posters …
