I’ve only had my T5 Recharge just over a week but 1200 miles on, I find the charge function pulls the consumption down about 4 mpg. Ive also found travelling at 65 far more economical than 70 about 3 mpg. Currently getting 42 mpg in this cold, using the manual battery hold function, holding it on battery when pulling away at roundabouts and switching to battery in town driving. Using it it pure hybrid mode wipes the battery as it seems to stay on battery up to 70mph until it’s dead. It’s a pity this is not a configurable option to say use battery at 30 or less.
I haven’t tried the Sat av yet so will definitely give that a go next week.
