This topic I think is for the US only
On the first real road trip with the new car, I had depleted the battery and I wanted to test out MPGs of the different modes and this is what I found over 20 mile stretches:
Hybrid - 43mpg
Hold - 40mpg
Charge - 21mpg (with 4 miles of EV replenished)
With the drop in mpgs of going from hybrid to charge, I don't see why one would ever drive in charge for the measly amount of EV miles that it adds.
