    75F, car warmed up, all Prius stars aligned. This is a 17 mile round trip to the Apple store and back. I think I only hit 5 bad lights. Many more red lights of course, but few where I had to waste almost all of my KE.

    The FE graph showing is quite a bit less than 80 mpg; in fact, I'd guess not too much more than 40 mpg. This graph only shows the return trip, the to: trip uses almost no fuel.

    Nice result -- but don't let Darell see this or you'll get a scolding and a lecture. Just think of the mileage he gets for a 17-mile round-trip to the Apple Store!

    Of course, he rides much farther than that on a daily basis. On his bike, that is. Great gas mileage and a good workout!

    Are you kidding ? Darrell lives for posts like this. And he's right, so I am happy to have him pontificate.

    No, no. I meant Darell, not his other brother, Darrell.

    Oh, what the heck -- invite them both in for the fun!
