Though it totally defeats the reason most buy an Energi (Hybrid), I got curious about what it would run in the 1/4 mile. I was at the track yesterday and figured... Why not run it? It's by far the slowest car I've ever driven at the track, but it was just for fun. I made 5 passes and it's consistent... Consistently slow.. it ran (3) 16.2 @ 86 mph passes and (2) 16.5 @ 86 mph passes.

If it could leave at anything more than idle it would be quicker, but not quick by any means.

After driving it harder than normal, I was still averaging 290 mpg when I got home..

Lots of variables... I'd say worst tank was 1,000 miles, best tank was 4,065 miles with just under 1/4 tank left

Do you live relatively close to where you work? I was set on picking an energi up until I saw what the range is. Not enough charging stations around me for it to work, unfortunately. Ended up with a 2.0 EB, but definitely don't care for the fuel economy so far.

How much EVO range do you get? That is very impressive mileage

Yes, my round trip including picking up my son after work is around 40 miles. I get 25-30 on a charge, but charge overnight at home and at work. During the week, I use little gas. I use more on the weekend.

I had a 2014 Titanium EcoBoost before this car and it ran great, especially Livernois tuned. It made more power and torque than stock, shifted much better, and even got better fuel economy.
