Pretty good, eh? NX450h. 1,394 miles of 73.1 mpg!

Interesting. I would have thought it to be ONLY the HV (gas) mpg as there is the alternative screen for miles per kWh when you're driving in electric mode. Guess I would have expected to have to do the manual math when filing up to determine exactly how many "equivalent miles" per gallon I got through the use of all the charged EV miles as well.
You're saying that you reset the trip at each fill up and that number also resets to zero before going back up into the 70+ range as you start to drive both EV and HV miles?
Edit: Ultimately, I'd like to be able to verify the efficiency of the HV only powertrain as being what was claimed. I would have guessed the way to do that would be to look at that screen, while the total combined mpg would be found by doing the manual division at a full up. If that screen does indeed display the combined total, then there is not a way I see (haven't played too much with the menus in the screen) to easily tell only the HV mileage?
Edit2: And nice on the level 2 install. Do you have a recommendation for an electrician you worked with? Contacted my "regular guy," but it's been a week and he hasn't responded.... How long are you seeing it takes to fully charge with the one you ordered?

I also drive a 450h and have not seen my electric bill increase sky high either. I've not done the math as LSFT, but where I live in British Columbia gas is expensive like over $10/gallon expensive.

Be careful of gas getting stale
Alas - no charging stations here and I really need the highest level of audio possible
YMMV,

The Average Total Fuel Economy is very misleading because it depends on how often you charge and how often you use EV. I've been using EV most of the time and I rarely use HV (only once every two weeks just to make sure), and as a result, my average total fuel economy is 99.9MPG. To me it's a useless number.
