I reset the trip meters and my wife took her first drive in late afternoon traffic in Lexington MA.
It was slow going, and we got way more EVing than I expected.
She started off doing pretty good, then lost interest in my hypermile lecturing.
Once she learns not to brake heavily and avoid jackrabbity starts,
I think she's going to be able to do that same loop at 80 or 90 mpg..
Maybe even triple digits, if it's a nice warm day..
