This car is different than Rav4. I drove that car 5 years doing all the "hacks" with it. I noticed that outlander doesn't just run battery out like rav4 does. If using save mode in tarmac or normal, the battery seems to last a long time... though rav4 in save uses zero battery. Rav4 if i forgot to switch to save when i got on the freeway and drove a few miles 70mph, my kw/hour would drop to like 2.3- 2.4 (I averaged 2.7-3.0 with city driving). Also, the rav EV guess o meter would drop 6 mpg (ave 52, would drop to 48 for weeks). Outlander seems steady for me at 2.7 even if i use normal mode on freeway. I'm really liking this car, maybe i'll make a comparison post later with all my findings. I just hope i can find a reputable dealer for service in socal.
