  1. Rolling slow on commute home last night. Nobody behind me, quiet streets, gentle downhill. Mellow podcast going. Got home with 95 MPG.

    Had to rush to work this morning, charged hills, took highway, held 70 MPH. Half the mileage.

    Contrast, filling other car for vacation last week. Intended to break $100 bill at gas station. Couldn't. Because it took the whole $100 to fill the car.

    Eh. No, not great, this.

    Just moments at the end of oil age.

  5. Deserted 4 lane urban streets on a Sunday, going 35 MPH, experimenting.

    Choose the mellow path, A/C cooling me, singing along to stereo.

    Other cars? "Wanna go faster? Just pass me."

    Coasting up to red lights, regeneration slowing the car.

    That big hill? Don't climb it, bypass it.

    Following the country road that parallels the small river, along the hills, by the tracks, then down along the canyon.

    Slow slow slow.

    Pull into driveway, see what was possible. 93!

  9. I present to you a masterclass in EV powertrain efficiency! I achieved this during my ~2.25 hour trip to the battery factory in my 2023 Hyundai Kona EV. It has a 60kWh LG NMC battery, with 40,811 mi on the odometer – and still a 100% SOH. I started the trip at 90% SOC.

    Over a 132-mile highway trip averaging 58.2 mph, total net consumption clocked in at just 21kWh. This yields a 1337 efficiency rating of 6.29 mi/kWh (159 Wh/mi).

  14. Guy chatting at work with some other gooberhead:

    "There are these guys, called hypermilers. Yeah! They go to all these weird extremes, tailgating trucks, modifying their cars, smoothing them, even ripping out anything unneeded, like the back seat! Ha ha ha!"

    What?!?

    But I don't say anything.

    I am just trying to spend less money, driving on my stupid commute. My family doesn't have a lot of money. We can't waste any.

    Everything in America under Trump costs us so much more now.

  18. Got in car, set up HF radio, reset car's MPG meter and started commute home. Out onto highway, found big boxy trucks to follow, 80-100 kph in the slow lane.

    Cross the valley, climb the mountain, spin the dial, scan the bands.

    Radio needs no looking at; controls are familiar, so are HF bands. Listen.

    No good opportunity to speak, but plenty to hear.

    Finish up 45m later, roll quietly through neighborhood on electric motor. Home, park. Looked at car's MPG: 92.0

  22. Wer schafft es seine eigenen #Verbrauchswerte zu unterbieten ⁉️

    Wir verlässlich sind eigentlich noch #Verbrauchswerte von #Autoherstellern?

    Spiegeln Sie unseren #Verbrauch im Alltag wieder oder sind es reine #Laborwerte?

    Oder schafft man sie tatsächlich nur durch #Hypermiling?

    Ach ja und wer hat eigentlich die Nase vorn - der Benziner, der Diesel oder das #Elektroauto?

  27. Rolling up the entrance ramp onto the highway before dawn. Spot a semi rumbling along ahead, accelerate more to catch up with it.

    Slide in behind, decent number car lengths back, let off accelerator pedal, wobble along in the slipstream, let the truck punch the hole through the air, while I gain a few percent in efficiency.

    Internal combustion engine stops, electric motor keeps me properly behind the truck, drafting along, at about 100 kmh.

    I watch the digital readouts.
