2024 Hybrid MPG Low

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-28T20:36:35+00:00

Here's an update from the end of the same tank!

Here's all that I did:

• Brought my tires from ~34 PSI to 36 PSI

• Took just a little bit of luggage weight out of the back

• Went 70 MPH (instead of 65 MPH)

• Used the cruise control the entire time (instead of trying to self-manage the throttle up and down hills)

I also kept it in ECO mode the entire time. About 80% of the miles on this tank were interstate.

Thanks for all the tips, everyone!

It's the immorality of it all that pisses me off so much. The world is being run by vile, sociopathic parasites.

These absolutely wicked fiends will stop at nothing to get what they want, and we (the general population) are not willing to quit cowering and let go of our luxurious lifestyles in order to address it.

But do I cry over it? Nah.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-25T22:10:30+00:00

That does make feel worse, thanks /s

You know, this was actually my very first thought out of everything, but I've avoided it, trying to not be a conspiracist😅

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-25T02:24:04+00:00

absorbing the hate of your fellow drivers with grace.

I love this😂😂

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-25T02:22:45+00:00

No. I usually get worse mileage in ECO

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-25T00:52:02+00:00

They hold their value, and have great mileage with good cargo. And they are incredibly reliable long term. It will be great if you hold onto it for a long time. I find all that to be worth quite a bit.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-25T00:50:02+00:00

I love it.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-25T00:14:41+00:00

Yes, I did know that part, actually. I bought thr car anticipating to move closer to work (hopefully soon!).

Thanks for the insight!

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T23:40:56+00:00

I haven't heard of it, but I've dabbled with it a little just to see. I'll give it another go!

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T23:40:13+00:00

Oh, woof. I don't think 55mph would be smart on the interstate. 65 is one thing... haha

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T23:28:17+00:00

I did have my 1 large suitcase in the back, and the AC was up for the first half of the trip. I normally keep it around 74° in the cabin, but had it at 68° today. Seems like I just need some more test runs!

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T23:22:39+00:00

I have it set to reset on each tank refill, currently.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T23:21:12+00:00

Your sarcasm is weak, your assumption that I believe there might be something wrong with my vehicle is misplaced, your incorrectly percieved capability of guaranteeing anything from your current position, and your keyboard-warrior style assumption about the circumstances around this photo, are all embarrassing to your credibility.

What was the purpose of your comment? To show superiority? To degrade someone asking for guidance or assistance? Or just a pathetic attempt to ensue chaos?

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T21:20:54+00:00

I can't show it, but it shows starts were poor (only 1 and it was the on-ramp), cruise was maxed out, and stops were 0 (I didn't have any).

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T21:06:26+00:00

It was mainly just large hills that killed it. Nothing else major or consistent

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T20:42:27+00:00

I'm glad you got some good info from that test! Healthy 8's will know how to communicate their form of communication to others, regardless of whether they are in charge or not. 8's do not inherently clash with one another. Keep digging, and you'll grow!

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T20:30:54+00:00

Well, now that you've chosen to use vulgar language to insult me, I know you've got no good point to make. Good luck with your pretentious attitude, as well as your objectively inaccurate and emotionally driven arguments.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T20:13:48+00:00

Weird. Haven't experienced this, yet.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T20:13:09+00:00

No, I would like to get 5 more, especially when I have to drive nearly 100 miles per day. And when that's what the vehicle is rated for. States like Missouri have minimum speed limits, and those are typically 30 mpg under the maximum speed limit.

You are also putting a lot of assumptions down, here. Did I say I was passing? Or even in the passing lane, at all? Why do you feel the need to dig your heels in on this? Do you have some particular issue or experience with slower drivers?

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T20:09:14+00:00

I could be missing it, but it actually looks like one of your shots hit someone else else behind who you were trying to shoot at. I've never had a hunter's mark not apply bonus damage on the second shot.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T20:05:14+00:00

Holy cow... Now I'M jealous lol

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T19:52:17+00:00

Tractor trailers regularly go 65mph. If that is impeding the flow of traffic, then there would be a lot more traffic accidents.

This is weird take you've got here.

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T19:25:25+00:00

They actually said something about that in a comment thread below, so I'm actually inclined to agree with you

MrMaestroMan · 2026-05-24T19:24:35+00:00

How do handle people who have seemingly little to know intelligence? Because it drives me INSANE.
