Top 20 MPGe

Very impressive results.

 

Well, I'm still in 4th place, but I do have more breathing room between myself and 5th place..... Thinking I may need to get to 97% EV before challenging 3rd place.

 

Do you guys actually drive any where, more than 10 miles a shot?

 

Here is 97%. But the MPGe is slightly less than my submission a couple of hundred (?) miles earlier, I think.

I drive within ~10 miles for a few months at a time. And then I've taken a few 50 mile (one way) trips and a couple of 400 - 1000 mile trips during the past year.

There is no way with my driving norms that I could but put together any thing like 67% EV right now I'm about 33% which is ok with me!

 

If I recall, Toyota's study said "about 50% of commuters are less than 15 miles" which means that more than 15 miles is not the exception, it is 50% of the US commuters.

 

I'm @ 31% EV for life of almost 14k mi. If i didn't have a college kid who drives my care randomly and family who all live within 50-65 miles away for family gatherings and take trips to the beach with the car loaded and, and.....

I'd have a much better EV ratio of course.

I have almost 73 mpg average and spent only $590 total in fuel costs since day 1. Going green makes me happy

 

IMO, it is not the percentage EV that matters, just your numbers of miles. Consider two different groups of people. In the first group are two people charge once a day and get ~12 miles per charge, thus about 4300 miles per year. Person 1 has a total miles for the year of 8600, thus 50% EV. Person two drives 17200 miles in a year and thus 25% EV.
In the second group, they charge twice a day M-F because they can charge at work. They go an extra 2500 miles in EV per year. The 8600 mile/yr person is now at 80% EV and the 17200 mile/yr is at 40%.
You can see that the EV percentage varies from 25% to 80%. But what matters, in savings, is how many times you charge, not how few miles you can go in HV.

EV mileage can be/is manipulated, just as manufacturers manipulate EPA ratings.

ma·nip·u·late

[muh-nip-yuh-leyt] Show IPA

3.​

to adapt or change (accounts, figures, etc.) to suit one's purpose or advantage.

I prefer, influence skillfully.

 

I would think 98% is the max over 1000 miles
ICE kicks in every 124 for 2 gas miles = 16 miles. Anything 11-19 counts as 2%
missing anything ?

 

My weekday driving is consistent + boring and consists of driving wife to train, driving to local store, driving to high school where I coach, back to that train and back. I'm charging in-between each of those

I've also taken the PiP to the airport, CapeCod, Boston multiple times but not during my 96% run.
I guess for MPG boring trumps exciting though and I'm at 90% EV right now after 9 full months - I spent $56 on gas this year

 

And your point is...........?

 

What if every time my ICE starts, I stop and let it warm up then start again 100% EV 0% HV miles.
Who cares if I use more gas!

 

Go back and read the post I replied to and then read my answer. High EV percentages require effort.
