So, last night I accepted an offer for a job 3x closer to home with the new work place being 7 miles vs 21 miles away. The route is a county road 45-55 mph most of the way with a few stop lights. I am interested to see what this will do to the FE I've been getting. I imagine it will be quite challenging to pull off what I had previously gotten with a relatively short commute. I am also very excited to now have roughly 40 more minutes per day to do what I wish with (15 minute commute vs 35 minutes).
Of course, this begs the question, what can I do with my vehicles now that I am much closer to work to most effectively improve efficiency. So, I am definitely considering and looking into building an EV. I've also thought about hybridizing the Paseo, but I'm not sold on the idea when I think a pure EV will suffice for almost all of my needs. If nothing else, year round use of a block heater is in order. Anyway, if anyone has suggestions on alternatives on efficient transportation I'm all ears.
