EV Mode Question
There is a manual called, "Hybrid Overview" and in that manual is "Ten Tips for Improving Fuel Economy"
Tip number 9 is:
"Do not operate the vehicle in "PWR" mode or "EV" mode.
Then there is a note that says, "Operating the vehicle in EV mode will not increase overall fuel economy."
Why doesn't operating in EV mode improve overall fuel economy???

My guess is because you run out of juice in about a mile and chances are unless you are going down a long continuous hill you are going to need the engine to kick in to charge them back up.
Also in the grand scheme of things, 1 mile is not going to make a difference when one tank goes 350
On another note, where is there a PWR mode?
