Really? Sound like it depends on the driver's behavior and route case I guess?
I drive 65km (home->work->home) per day daily. This is the way i drive:
1. When battery is charging using fuel (on a straight road), drive abit faster by constant slow acceleration to boost recharge.
2. When battery is (almost) full, try to drive at 60km/h by using battery power only.
3. Drive faster when going down to the slope, drive with constant speed when climbing a hill by allow battery power kick in to assist.
4. Always forecast the traffic at the front, start releasing pedal to let the car roll slowly if stop is required soon, drive as if I dont have to brake.
5. Avoid idling. Always.
6. Accelerate gently.
Except for 60km/hr (actually average 55), the others were obtained using cruise control.
For me, I will glide (neither acceleration nor deceleration) or use minimum battery power when going down a slope. Accelerate when going up a slope since the car needs power, so might as well take the opportunity to charge the battery
FYI, I have done 11.6k km so far
