I commute 33 miles on one charge from Long Beach to Huntington, drive about 50% stoplights/traffic and 50% freeway.
Conclusions:
-Fuel economy is maximized when you use "hold" mode at steady speeds and "EV" mode when in stop and go traffic (avg = 120mpg)
-Fuel economy is minimized during the opposite conditions (avg 90mph)
-Fuel economy keeps dropping significantly after a 35 mile commute; expect to lose about 25%+ mpg for every 10 miles of commute over 35 miles up to about 60 miles where it seems you lose the benefit of the plug-in feature (data not included)
-Traffic patterns wreck havoc on day to day numbers when trying to maximize mpg.
-Hybrid mode is the most predictable and consistent, albeit not most efficient
You can peruse the data of you like:
