WOW.

OK, I know it's still not at all scientific, but today's ForkenSwift test drive with the Invictas on it was an all time record and beat my recent similar driving by a big margin:

27.6 km / 17.2 miles @ 3.43 kWh

199.7 Watt hours per mile / 124.1 Watt hours per km or 168 mpge (US)

My two best recent results are 224 and 228 Wh/mile. My previous all time best was 207 Wh/mile.

Maybe I should be putting together a pit crew to swap the tires back and forth between the two cars for me.
