    Between my wife and the low temperatures my EV range is down to 8.8 miles. Overall, performance in low temps is better than I thought.

    Based on current performance I predict 130-135 mpg during the low temperature months (October 1 to April 1).

    Seventeen?!! That seems unreal. What would you get in the summer without paying attention to how you drive? No intentional hyper-milage stuff.

    I don't hypermile. You need a warm morning, suburb speeds, little traffic, and green lights. That doesn't happen often.

    Without those all conditions during the summer without A/C, I see EV distances around 13 miles.

    Still something to look forward to. Spring early this year according to Phil.

    We've had very low temps here- some single digit nights and teens during the daytime. My EV range dropped to 9.3mi and has stayed there for two months now. When I ran the figures for January, even with the low temps- my overall fuel economy was 83mpg over 1500 mi driven.

    FWIW- I've had Ice-X 2's on all four corners since Xmas day.

    During the summer I regularly was seeing 15 miles for the estimated range after a full charge, but could drive 16 - 17 miles before dropping to 0.0 miles remaining. Now I'm showing 13 miles, typically, getting ~14...temps have been 45 - 55 F.
