"it is thus far averaging 68.63784 MPG"

You're not an accountant by any chance are you?

But not if you live in a "hilly" area of the country - Toyota boxes really showing their age in those cirmstances

I do apologise Colinh but don't really understand your reply ? Are you referring to the gearbox ?

I too am baffled by the comment by colinh?!.

Good to hear a review of this car. I see quite a few about this area and i like its looks. I believe it is one of the most aerodynamic cars you can buy which will certainly help the mpg on main road/dual carriegeway/motorway journeys.

Regarding the performance, while obviously not a performance car, nor supposed to be, i have good reason to believe it is actually faster than you might expect and certainly faster than the quoted figures. The Kia Nero hybrid is mechanically identical to the Ioniq and when road tested by Autocar magazine, they found it would accelerate to 60mph in 9.7 seconds, nearly two seconds quicker than Kia's own claims of 11.5 seconds. Furthermore, they were impressed by its 'in gear' acceleration and the fact that you can hold a gear (DCT gearbox) while accelerating (something it seems you can't in a Toyota hybrid).Having said that, from your comments, this will be of little interest as the car encourages you to drive in a relaxed fashion!.

Yes - live in N. Wales - and spent a a lot of time with Toyota boxes shouting "drop down a gear"

Each time I refuel I make a note of the mileage and litres put in, and also the date. I then e mail this to the bean counters, and they add the information to a spreadsheet.

Are you 100% certain your accountants know how to convert litres to gallons? Your figures are way better than any I have seen published for the Ionic, so much so I do wonder if there is a basic error somewhere.

The 'real mpg' section of this website shows an average of 62.2 mpg, which isn't that far off the OP's figure.
