I recently did a 300 mile each way trip with about 300 local miles in between. The only charging I did was before I left my house. I used battery control on the highway set at 50%; the rest of the time I used auto. Most of the highway driving was at 75 mph (not the most efficient speed). I averaged 32 mpg on the trip.
