Fuel Sucking Pig
F.S.P. alert:
Been doing a fair number of cold start short sub/urban trips the last 3 or 4 days. And near freezing weather has arrived. Definitely not best-case conditions for good MPG.
And I'm definitely not getting good MPG -- struggling to see low 40's mpg return trip averages, even with plenty of engine-off. (Enough engine off that I'm thinking I need to start trickle charging the battery.)
The Civic sure is a nice car to drive, but the Blackflea would be getting ~50% better MPG without breaking a sweat!
