Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Sounds good.
Thanks.

I drive my VW like a grandma too. I was able to get 50 MPG over 330 miles of continuous highway driving on one trip. I typically get 42-44 MPG commuting (it's hard to know exactly with the diesel because of the foam on fillups), around 700 miles to a tank. That's probably going to be the biggest culture-shift if/when I go electric. Filling up once a month is hard to give up.

Good luck with it!

Cheers,
Scott.
New This Kia was 52 miles per gallon in local suburb traffic
I don't know if I tried. This is simply what I got when trying not to cross over certain thresholds that the console told me about. It's when you don't care about competing with the car next to you.

You talk about driving like your grandma. B*******. I talk about not going to jail and get f***** in the ass. It's a different incentive.

Let me add bit to that. I drive to as not to draw attention from police. I have spent many years driving illegally. I have my license now but I have some dumb s*** for quite a while. So I have that general attitude that anything I can do wrong could end me up in jail. I drive like the oldest man you've ever seen.

New Next day of driving gave me 65 mpg
About 30 minutes of highway of which 10 minutes was start and stop heavy traffic. A couple hours of various city start and stop and suburb start and stop. So I assume if I was serious highway distance I could pull in around 70 mpg.

Not Tesla model 3 quality MPGe 134 but damn fine for a gasoline fuel vehicle. Which costs less than half the equivalent Tesla usability. And I like 5-minute fillups as opposed to plug-in and pray. I'm sticking with hybrids for quite a while.

Only Olaf Stapledon ever succeeded on this kind of scale, and Olaf Stapledon is dead.
