Month of June 2020 (Nat’l Avg $1.978)

Well, I really ground it. Backed into my open door with another car. Now that door has to be repaired.
My wife was parked at a state park in the other Elantra. A passing state park truck with equipment in its bed, had gear shift. The gear swung into our left rear window & busted it badly. Now both Elantras are getting things repaired.
Hey, we ain’t got ccp coronavirus.....yet!

 

Merci!! Not small mercies either. Deathrates due to ccp coronavirus range from 4% (few....at least, reported accurately), to 5.9% (more), to 7%, to 10+% (several European countries, Mexico, others). In other words, catching ccp coronavirus & dying from it, is the equivalent of 4 to 10+ times worse, than the deathrate to 16 year olds driving motorcycles without helmets in their first year of riding.
Riding motorcycles is a choice. Catching ccp coronavirus is NOT a choice.

 

Thanks for starting our thread , Gord.

Prius says only 34 miles left; I don't believe her.
But it's only about 26 miles to my Amoco.

 

Topped my car off before summer really starts to hit and gas goes up. Not sure if you can really count it, but hey!

29.7 kWh used = .906 gallons equivalent
.992 + .906 = 1.898 gallons equivalent
185.2 / 1.898 = 97.576MPGe

 

Our gas has been going up for weeks already. Weeks ago, I got gas for $1.25 per gallon. Paid $2.03 the other day. Even if I went to a distant station, I would still pay $1.79.

 

Yeah, already up to $2.10 a gallon. Glad I still have my C-Max, even if it has been a pain.

 

Paid $2.179 for my Amoco 87 E10 today.
The car took 9.594 gallons of it.
Tank did not start as a full one , due to bad pump at
Mobil ON RTE 59 AND 75TH ST IN NAPERVILLE.
Sorry , but I had to let the world know about this place.

Took the highway home last night , trip home was about
the same as the AM trip.
Tonight , Scenic Route #2 , which could give 74 MPG ( unless it rains).

 

Rachmaninoff’s Symphony #2 gives much pleasure, but cannot give 74MPG. Also in the rain, the symphony will give sub-standard performance.

 

Both cars are now repaired. The electric window on the one Elantra & the door on the other Elantra both work excellently. Now, we’ll see how long we wait for the Washington state re-imbursement on the window they broke.Of course, we don’t get any re-imbursement for the door.... I BROKE.
