Extremely quick update today, I left home at 06:45 Eastern so that I could make my meeting on time. First, I drove right off the map (it is time to get My Prius' maps updated) when I realized the road I wanted to take had changed paths slightly. I turned around and got back on the right track, when a black Prius crossed me, we traveled together for about a mile when they left me as they ran a red light they thought they'd make before it changed. I found out that my company will be getting a fleet of Prius next year! Round trip, I used half an indicated tank, and got an ok 51.5 MPG over more than 375 miles. The reason for the poor mileage was mostly excessive speed, the set of interstates I used have steep hills and I let people push me well over the speed limit today, it had very little to do with the unfamiliar terrain, speeding hurts mileage but doing it into an unfavorable wind will destroy any progress made toward great fuel economy. Now I need to get some rest, tomorrow I have to get to work early. Thanks for reading I will see you tomorrow, good night. Kacey Green Trackback(0)
