My first tank of gas, I mostly drove Eco while experimenting with normal and sport modes rarely. I just refilled when the fuel indicator lit up, and I had driven 564 miles and filled it up to full with 13.98Gallons of premium fuel. I suppose that averages out to just over 40 MPG. I hope to do better as I get used to driving a hybrid...any tips to improve mileage are welcome.

No tips on improving mileage, but you could save money by not using premium. The car doesn't require it, so it's just like throwing money away.

Your mileage will vary. But be aware that it probably won't be as good during the winter with different gasoline blend and heating up the engine.

I found no major improvement in gas mileage with sport vs. ECO. For maybe an additional 2 mpg or so, I'll continue with the sport setting most of the time.

Normal Mode

I take a different approach. Before buying a ES300h, I had a IS350. So I was used to more power, better brakes. I've had the ES for over a year and a half now and really haven't changed my driving style. Though I have gone from 21MPG to 34MGP. Not as good as some of you folks, but I'm having fun and not concerned about gas mileage. But then again I work from home and only use it once a week. Anyways, just my two cents...

Normal Mode -- best for moving away from a standing stop. Takes advantage of traction motors working with ICE. Results in smoother get-aways (and probably better mileage).

ECO Mode -- best for straightaway driving.

Sport Mode -- best for hill climbing and merging into traffic, but with a mileage penalty.

My average currently (3,000+ miles) is 44.1 mpg
