If you could elaborate on the data points and driving techniques, I would appreciate it. I have wondered about this as a n alternate testing strategy because going to my 18 mile "course" can be thought of as a wasted trip from an eco perspective. And the time! I'd rather use my very regular commute, if I can, reliably.
