I'm not saying Shell has the best gas, but it does give me really consistent tank numbers. There are alot things you have to do to get 50mpg and where you buy your gas is just one of them.
I have an 07 TCH, I usually get about 39 mpg. I have to work hard for that, if I just drove it normal, it would probably get about 35. My traction motor rarely kicks on from start, I wonder if I need to take it in for checkup (which they would say nothing is wrong with it)???

Also my fuel eco needle usually is about 10mpg when driving on engine. Sometimes even less.

Also, my min by minute graph hanges around sub 20 quite a bit.

Also, my city mileage is probably closer to about 28 whereas my highway brings me up to average of 39.

Anyone that cares to reply to my above points on how their TCH compares would be great.

Thanks,
Steve
