What are folk’s range on a fill up? Mine is 288 miles

I have a 2021 FSport ES350

 

I get roughly 350 miles between fill ups and put in 11.5 gallons on average.

 

Thanks, for some reason I remember my range was in the low 300s, like 320-330. Perhaps a computer glitch?

 

After fueling up, my range is around 550 miles or higher on my 13.2 gallon (US) tank. I have zero regrets about choosing the hybrid ES. At 215 hp, it’s plenty powerful compared to what one might think of as a typical hybrid, and I haven’t seen any downsides.

 

I get about 1000km (625 miles) on a 45 liter ( 11.9 gallons) of regular gas.

The car is ultra smooth with lots of Oomph when needed to pass or take off.

 

I don't track routinely but this past weekend, I took an 800 mile round trip (NJ to VA and back) and I was averaging darn close to 35 MPG.

 

That is great mileage. My 2019 ES300h is only showing 439miles at best after fill up. What is your secret to get those crazy high miles?

 

About Between 450 and 550 depending on the last trip (which is part of how the car calculates the expected range)

The secret is simply more highway.

 

Agree with the mileage, but disagree with the secret being highway mileage. My last tank was just under 500 miles and zero highway driving on this particular tank. Don’t get many highway miles with my new pizza delivery opportunities…

I try to use a very mild pulse and glide technique to maximize my mileage - but only when practical. I had about 10 years with Priuses to develop these practices. My goal is generally to get the car on to battery power - so I’m only doing it at city speeds. I never do this on the highway (as some articles bizarrely recommend) and I won’t drop below the posted speed limit. I also won’t do it I have someone closely following as it would be irritating - so yes, it may work better in a more rural environment. You can search for the “pulse and glide driving technique” or read about it in this Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy-efficient_driving. The articles almost make it sound like it takes a real effort, but honestly I don’t really work it that hard or think much about it. Again, my push is just to get it to go to battery at lower speeds. My last tank as calculated on regular fuel was 46 MPG so this works well for me. It’s harder to get to get to “glide” in our RX hybrid as the weight seems to work against this technique, but we still got 33 MPG on our last tank of mostly city speeds.

 

all things being equal, highway>city when it comes to economy. it takes a lot more energy to get a car going than to keep to keep it going. and yeah i'm aware of how the epa does their thing. it's not real world though. i've studied this.

not all city is equal and not all highway is equal.

 

at the end of the day, for all intents and purposes, maintaining speed is the best way to maximize economy regardless of fuel type/powertrain type and/or source. period

 

Sounds like some of you are real pro at hypermiling. I have been a lead foot driver all my life and this is my first hybrid. I took over a year to reform my old habits but best I can do is 39MPG combine. I am getting twice the MPG of previous ICE vehicle so I am not complaining. Just curious how some get such insane MPG. Some people even drive without AC to achieve great MPG and that's not me. I like my AC on all the time.

 

Thanks for all the responses. Let me refine my question a bit more: around the moment you fill up and the car reports the range, is that a constant or is it based on previous driving? For some reason I feel like that number has dropped for me since I picked up the car in June of this year. Perhaps because I’m using normal and sport more versus eco?

 

It’s definitely based on the previous tank/driving. And depending on where you’re located, the climate in late October can be significantly different than the climate in June, so you’ll likely be getting worse fuel economy from doing nothing else differently.

 

Cars computer calculates the range based on your latest fuel economy. That range also fluctuates if you accelerate smoothly vs heavy foot.
