2025 Sport-L hybrid - tips for mileage?

I just purchased a purchased a 2025 Sport-L hybrid this week. So far I’m very pleased. Used with 18K miles.

So far I’m at 30.5 mpg with a mix of city and highway. I made a trip this morning in city driving that came in at 36 mpg. Long term this will end up being 60% highway driving.

I’m interested in tips on maximizing mileage, any tricks you have learned. I’m seeing a difference if i slow acceleration rate and get to my speed gently.

How does drive mode impact mileage? Any suggestions on when to use the different modes?

One other question - any suggestions on use of the paddles and when to use B mode?

FYI - got for 33K even, 18K miles. I searched a 300 mile radius and was able to have 3 dealers compete. Was looking at 23-25s, best deal turned out to be newest model with lowest mileage.
