Surprising MPGs

My wife is about 6 weeks into her ownershp / driving of her '18 RLX Sport Hybrid, and the smile gets bigger each day after returns after her drive to/from work. She thought she'd miss her '12 TL SH-AWD, but that fear is long gone at this point. Perhaps the most surprising thing she's commented on is the MPG's she's seeing. Her route to work brings her through mostly rural roads (30-40 mph), some in-town stop 'n go, and a little bit of 60 mph - about 18 miles each way. In her SH-AWD TL, that route in the warmer months got 25 mpg consistently over her 7 year ownership. Her RLX SH-AWD now has about 2500 on the odometer, and her apples-to-apples MPG so far is between 33-34 mpg. Obviously her driving environment is the sweet spot for the RLX's hybrid mode, but it's just astounding that something so much nicer gives her almost 33 percent improved mileage. Of course she's not hitting the happy pedal too much (and not in sport mode) - but this goes to show what you can get out of this vehicle....
