There has been a long standing question about utilizing the blended hybrid operation (AKA M8) and if it is actually more efficient than just leaving the 4XE in Hybrid mode and allowing the vehicle to make the decisions. Which method is more/less efficient? In this test, we find out. I did two back to back tests, one using the blended mode and one just allowing the vehicle to make it's decisions. In both tests, I drove at the same speed and the same distances and controlled as many variables as possible. I have to say, the results surprised me.
