I am away from home, once i get to a PC, I will run the number.
A few comments.
1. one-way trip is usually not a good indication of car's efficiency, because terrain change can get involved. But it is always interesting to see data.
2. ICE MPG here is low. Because 42% of the miles are driven by Edrive, or 58% of the miles are driven by ICE. so ICE mpg is about 58% of 35MPG indicated in trip computer => 20.3MPG. This isn't high at all for the speed you are traveling
3. appy the same ratio, mi/kWh = 0.42 x 9.2 = 3.86mi/kWh. this is very highs
with this observation, if you allow me to make a wild guess of the route. High average speed indicate this is an interstate route. I think terrain up and down a mountain, grade is even a little steep. Uphill portion is ~80 miles. Here Hybrid Eco Pro will use ICE, thus the low ICE MPG. On the downhill portion, ICE is off. Miles driven get counted toward eDrive. Since is downhill, you are really coasting. HEP mode doesn't really do much regen. This explain the high mi/kWh. Let me know if I am way off.
