Bragging on my wife a bit
We just got back from our weekly shopping trip in. When I got into the Prius to go after my wife got home from her work, the tank was at ~175 miles and still had all 10 pips; it was filled up last Saturday morning.  On top of that, the average was still above 70 mpg. When we got home, we were at 200.* miles and still had all 10 pips. I need to note that I drove the car for the first 50-60 miles and got her started off well but, I think she did quite well for her. For a bit of comparison, on one of my record tanks with the car, I lost the first pip at just over 269 miles. Way to go Melody!  |

Impressive!
I think you have the combined husband-wife FE category locked up!

Re: Bragging on my wife a bit
...and I don't have to brag about her (though we're not married, but it doesn't matter at all), she's regged here and she can brag about her own results 
Well, she beat me at FE on the recent 48-hour run.

Re: Bragging on my wife a bit
My wife thinks she's "coasting" if she waits 1.5 seconds between letting off the gas and hitting the brake. She's trying.
