Well got my 2005 silver CVT Home. 08March07 only cost me 114 in fuel costs. A friend flew to Ohio and drove it back for me. The car looks showroom new. Not a scratch,nick or skuff. The previous owner only put 8k miles on it.
I have figured out everthing except what happens when the battery condition gauge drops. How much driving do you have to do to get it back up? A couple of short trips yesterday and it is down about a quarter.

The car is great and the friend who drove mine back for me now wants one too.

Thanks to all
Rick

IMA SoC is a _calculated_ value and varies for all kinds of reasons.

See:

Recal's, Forced charge, IMA Battery and Thermal mgmt - long
http://www.insightcentral.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=750

for more than you probably want to know about the IMA and SoC.

And there are _several recent_ threads in the Problems and Troubleshooting forum on the topic too.

HTH!
