Thanks for the new vocabulary. Word! I was running in Eco mode, and had the A/C off. However, the first half of the trip I was trying to keep up with wife running around 75 MPH - whatever ECO did, I am sure the speed undid. The car did much better on the second leg, with cruise control on between 60 and 65.

First, you need to update your vocabulary: 'Driving on fumes" is now "Driving on stray electrons" or some variant thereof. ![;-)]( "Wink")
Did you switch to Eco mode and lower the temperature setting? You can also try running the A/C only when running downhill, to try to grab some of the regenerative power that gets lost as battery heat. Still, it can be hard to get good range, even in Eco, when it's hot, raining and humid, cold, etc....
