Most Miles in a PiP (tank)

Yea! I know, About four to five times a year I have to go see my brother, I'm in charge of his trust. It's 450 miles round trip. So I will never be able to get a huge tank because about the time I get 2500 miles it's time for a visit. I have 1350 miles on this tank, I'm down one bar on gas, so time to go visit in the next month or so.

Very nice tank you have so far, keep it up!

 

thank you
suggestion - take your wife's car for that visit ;-)

 

Good Idea, If I survive the beating I will take! and the time in the hospital and women never ever forget anything, and I will hear about it for the rest of my life. Oh! I can hear it already!

 

May be my coffee buddy will drive his 2010 Pruis and I can pay for the gas and buy him a stake for lunch! and a beer! Now may be...........

 

Incredible, but it sounds like a full time job. Takes effort to build up the EV ratio, very little to reduce it.

 

I'm just driving, no effort.

Semi retired, I just coach fulltime and drive my wife to and from a train each day.
That makes for about 4 drives a day all within range. Supermarket, beers with friends - same range...
The PiP was made for my situation

Very impressive. I'm a junior EVer compared to your staticstics. Will be interesting to monitor your long term EV ratio. Good luck.

 

Thanks. Those aren't too common here in the SF Bay area

 

Just filled up today. It's been since December 31, 2012 the last time I filled up. Had three gallons left. 7.389 gallons to fill. (I cheated, I had $2.99 remaining on my December 31, 2012 SonyRewards BP gift card. Used my newly acquired $25.00 SonyRewards BP gift card and topped off so there's no money left on the $25.00 card. ) But, like a dumb-s I used the BP driver rewards card on the $2.99 card. to get an additional 10 cents off a gallon. So I paid $3.69 a gallon to get .808 gallons and paid $3.79 a gallon for 6.581 gallons. Also, since it's been 6 months, I opened the hood of the engine compartment instead of the gas filler do-hingy. Drove off with the hood open too. any way my mpg is 149.5 (Fuelly) Trip B MPG is 175.0, 1105.0 miles travelled Total miles 3317.0

 

Nice!
Are we happy yet?
About time you got gas! Oh I mean fuel!

 

EBH's are not too common here in Southern California either - but even on 68 degree mornings in the summer you can still benefit by running the EBH for an hour prior to heading out. It pays real benefits summer and winter. A warm block is a happy block.

No......I got gas....... ..........time for tum tum tum....TUM!

 

Yeah...I had to look around for a minute to find the right button to push to get the gas door opened the last time I got gas. I was worried that the door might be cobwebbed shut and not be able to get it opened.

EBH in Socal hmmmm

 

Hi all - just recorded my first fill up on Fuelly but no MPG calculated.
Looked into why and it says MPG over 199 won't work... seems like some out there must've hit over that for a fill-up - anyone have insight ?
if they won't allow those I think there stats are obviously off regarding the PiP vs others

 

Fuelly assumes that entries that high are an input error; problem is it doesn't support also providing kwh used.
Reason it's so high is due to ignoring the electricity used instead of gas.
Last I heard, no plans to support entry of both, either.

Apparently some plugin owners convert the kwh used to eGallons, so what you end up with is combined MPGe, but not everyone does that (if their ratio is small enough, or if they even bother with fuelly for their tracking anymore), so they're not directly comparable.
I suppose you could also do some math and exclude EV miles, but that doesn't give you the full picture either.

^^^^
That's what I do. The EV ratio screen shows EV miles and kWh used so it's easy arithmetic to separate out EV and HV using 33.7 kWh per equivalent gallon. As I don't have an exact calculation for EV costs anyway, I ignore the 15% charging loss.

 

When you do your next fill and the same thing happens, it does figure the mileage and calculates it, it just does it as if all miles driven are gas. If your MPG are over 200 as yours will be, it will not put them on the chart graph. but will calculate them as all gas.

I just leave mine that way. I calculate long hand and use the formula as the top 10 MPGe list uses. Thats what I use in my signature. I just keep my best numbers and move on!
P.S. I do keep a complete log of all fills in paper in my glove box!
