Drove up to Boston Logan yesterday, half back roads, half highway. Low 40s temps, wet roads, some rain. Was at about 70 mpg before the highway, think I would've been up near 75 or more if there weren't so many stoplights on the route I took (even at 5:30 in the morning!). It got down to around 64-65 after going faster for awhile, then stop and go traffic brought it back up for the end.
67.3 mpg over 67 miles - one gallon to Boston!
Dear Mike with a Prius,
ReplyDeleteI praise you on your selection of Minnesota as a worthy place to visit. That is all.
Mike,
ReplyDeleteJust curious, how long did it take you to get there? That is all
Kelvin,
ReplyDeleteIt took me 2 hours and 15 minutes. Google maps shows the regular route (highways - which I didn't take for half the trip) would make it a 1 hour 10 minute trip, but I was in traffic for a half hour on route 93, so realistically I'd guess 1 hour and 40 minutes or so if I had gone that way and driven a reasonable highway speed. So it took me about 30-45 minutes longer than it would have normally. If I hadn't gone that way I would've gotten a little above 50 mpg I imagine, so savings of 30% or so.
