I often do that myself, but after a recent grid charge my battery is as strong as ever. Just today I ran with 5-6ish bars of assist to the top of a mountain, and after probably 12-15 minutes of climbing, I still had 3 bars left.
My late summer tanks were around 80mpg, but I think we're on winter gas now and it's getting cold so it's starting to creep down toward the upper 60's.
The super low tanks in my log are from pulling a half ton of stuff in my trailer, and from helping my family to move. During one trip I actually hauled a 130 year old piano over a mountain.
