Hi all,

Just curious what your reading says as I just picked up a gently used 2019 ES300H last week and drove it for a few days. Upon refueling it says 32.5 under the after refuel page. I don't know if reading is overall mpg (gas+electric) or just accounting for the gas only mpg.

Thanks.

Car computes fuel used and distance traveled, overall MPG. In the first few
miles after refueling the average is going to vary a bit because of the small
"sampling" of the short distance. Reading stabilizes as you drive further.

Note: traditional power train cars get better MPG on the highway. Our hybrids
minimize the use of fuel by using the battery to accelerate and reduce the use
of friction brakes by recharging the battery when coasting/lightly braking. You
will observe rather different initial "after refueling" readings if you jump back on
a freeway after refueling or just sail home and park it.
