Near 600 mile tank mpg
On a trip through Ohio to Georgia, running at 70-75 mph to keep with the traffic, this tank gave me 585 miles at 50 mpg. The catch is that my 300h is a Canadian model and the readout for mpg is in Imperial gallons. That works out to just a fraction under 40 mpg U.S. Any way you slice it I am pleased with the mileage.

Did you run the tank down to empty? I've run down to 20 km remaining range before I chickened out and refilled.
I've managed over 900 km or 560 miles on a single tank. Current fuel consumption is 5.8 l/100 km or 40 mpg US, pretty good in cold winter weather.

I went about 30 miles with the warning light on but was in an area of Georgia where the gas stations were not plentiful so didn't want to press my luck.

How many gallons did it take to fill the tank or the real question is, how much was left in the 17 gallon tank?
My ES 350 still had 3 gallons (14.0 to refill) when the needle as sitting on the "E" mark and no fuel light at that point. I forgot to look at the remaining range.
