I do as much of this as possible, you can see the charge rate go to maximum when you are barely touch the brake and I do seem to be getting better mpg than others... Well I would be if some van didn't try and drive through me a week ago on the motorway. Everyone walked away and car will be back in a couple of weeks! Not having much luck so far with this car
