Welcome to the grind After breakfast Sunday morning, went to Blenheim Palace, fantastic place. Had afternoon tea and a good wander round the palace, garden and grounds. Fabulous run back, slightly faster but no holdups, unusually did it in one hit: 2 Drives Total Miles Driven 139.63 Rated Miles Used 118.09 Efficiency 118.24 % Time Driven 3 Hours 2 Minutes kWh Used 25.55 kWh Wh/Mile 183 Wh Got back with just under 19% battery left, just over 60 miles of range so at that rate, I could have done over 345 miles on one charge - wow! (just realised I had crossed over into June ).
Today, to a general store for compost, food and miscellaneous stuff: 2 Drives Total Miles Driven 11.81 Rated Miles Used 9.54 Efficiency 123.79 % Time Driven 23 Minutes kWh Used 2.06 kWh Wh/Mile 174 Wh
Thank you for starting our thread, Gord. Sunday I drove the Fit 30.9 miles , fcd = 49.7 MPG I also took a ride on the Honda CB300R. 8.4 miles, fcd = 71.4 MPG. Today, in the Fit again, 33.4 miles, fcd = 52.6 MPG
Today it is 64 deg F in Naperville, 68 in Elk Grove. Wind S 9 33.4 miles, fcd = 58.0 MPG That's a perfect storm. I take little credit for that number. I'm just driving "normal" under perfect conditions. On the way home tonight, I'll probably have an okay number until I get to the northeast corner of Naperville, and then I'll lose maybe 4 MPG by the time I get home. Edit : I just looked at the weather for this afternoon. not so good for traveling south and west. Windy with showers developing this afternoon. High near 85F. Winds SSW at 20 to 30 mph. Chance of rain 50%. Winds could occasionally gust over 40 mph.
Going home last night was tough. I ended up at 32.9 miles, fcd = 46.5 MPG. Today, 68 deg F in Naperville. 67 in Elk Grove. wind SW 6, light rain all the way in. 33.4 miles, fcd = 54.7 MPG
Today ti is 61 deg F in Naperville, 59 in Elk Grove. Wind NNE 4 35.2 miles, fcd = 54.5 MPG Next week I start working three days (Tues Thurs Fri) I was supposed to retire today, but several weeks ago they asked me if I would consider working part-time. In other words, they are finding it difficult to replace me. This works out for me. I will have more time and energy to do the things I need to do. I can see this lasting for 3-6 months. I really don't want to do this commute thru another Chicago winter. Edit : Filled up Friday after work. $3.299 for a gallon of 87. Forgot the miles , but fcd was 51.5 MPG
I think that’s a win win Edwin and I get the not wanting to do another winter commute Tuesday to a hardware store and garden center: 3 Drives Total Miles Driven 10.35 Rated Miles Used 10.00 Efficiency 103.5 % Time Driven 24 Minutes kWh Used 2.16 kWh Wh/Mile 209 Wh Wednesday just some local stuff, supermarket and back, local cafe to meet friends (and get free tomato plants) and back: 4 Drives Total Miles Driven 10.47 Rated Miles Used 8.28 Efficiency 126.45 % Time Driven 21 Minutes kWh Used 1.79 kWh Wh/Mile 171 Wh Yesterday went to see mom but went on the mountain bike cross country followed by a shorter ride on the road bike at home. No driving today, going out on the road bike again.

Great bike ride, Gord ! Today I didn't check the weather at 5:00 AM when I arrived at work, but it seemed to be low 50s F. 33.4 miles, fcd = 53.9 MPG.
Thanks Edwin Dropped our dog off at daughter’s house and drove to Peterborough station to catch the train to London. Quite a long way to catch a train but there’s engineering works on our usual line 5 miles from our house and this was the best option. We’re going to see a show that our daughter got free tickets for : 2 Drives Total Miles Driven 88.96 Rated Miles Used 73.64 Efficiency 120.8 % Time Driven 2 Hours kWh Used 15.93 kWh Wh/Mile 179 Wh Back later today (a lot later!!)
Great show Set off back home from train station, set off at 00:12, 2 closed roads (engineering works) but not too bad a run back. Slightly higher average speed than normal (just wanted to get home), max 71mph, avg 56mph, got back at 01:50 To daughter’s house this morning via a shop to collect dog: 4 Drives Total Miles Driven 95.44 Rated Miles Used 94.63 Efficiency 100.86 % Time Driven 2 Hours 6 Minutes kWh Used 20.47 kWh Wh/Mile 214 Wh
