Three months after the purchase is also 13 weeks. I have just over 13,000 miles on the car. At this point I am under 5K/month, but still over 4K/month and just over 1K/week. I am still happy with the purchase and continue to learn new things about the car.
I strongly suspect I will fall below 1K/week by the end of next week as I don't have anything beyond the daily commute planned.

On the way to Toronto
Odometer: 1170.2
Tank Mileage: 492.3
Gallons Added: 12.582
Long-Term Average: 33.3
Monthly Average: 38.1
Calculated Average: 39.1
We filled up a bit early to avoid having to buy gas in Canada. We should easily be able to get back to the US before we have to fill again. We had 148 miles to E for an estimated tank range of 640 miles. Long-Term average is now over 30 mpg. The Monthly average did get to 38.5 during the week while commuting.
As mentioned after the first tank, this tank included about 200 miles of Interstate driving with a significant tailwind. The two legs involved included a 44.0 and a 43.6 mpg segment average.
Per the Owner's Manual, we are now out of the break-in period. Based on statements made about the Ford Hybrid system, I should see some improvements over the next few thousand miles as the rest of the system wears-in.

First fill-up
Odometer: 677.9
Tank Mileage: 526.8
Gallons Added: 14.974
Long-Term Average: 29.7
Monthly Average: 36.6
Calculated Average: 35.2
I had to drive to Dayton, Ohio today. I spent most of the 200 miles driving into a quartering headwind. As I neared Dayton, the was a bong and the left-most part of the instrument panel changed to a Low Fuel Warning. This was apparently triggered when the Miles to E hit 50 miles. I filled with 30 Miles to E for a Full Tank Range of 556 miles. When I turned the car on after filling, there were 551 miles to E.
This is quite encouraging. I will be done with the break-in period of 1000 miles when I next fill the car. I had a significant tailwind on the return trip. Both segments of the trip home showed over 40 mpg. We'll have to wait for the next fill to see the full impact.
