Nope. I don't have fancy instrumentation that can measure interesting stuff like that.

Today I did a 19.6 km trip and short shifted a lot, shifting at 2500-3000 instead of 3000-4000 and cruising at 2000-2500 instead of 3000+. You can see in my fuel log that I achieved the best efficiency I have ever done at 394 Wh/mile. I did baby it though, so it might have been just a coincidence.

I have always been under the impression that higher revs with an EV is more efficient. Weird. I will try it this coming week of commuting to see what happens.
