Thanks to S Keith for pointing out that using less assist AND regen is a good thing. My hybrid battery is ailing, and I've been keeping the charge state high now, manually preventing assist and regen by using Calpod. Also, with less need to cause battery charging, I can EOC more often; that's a very powerful tool.. This week also had nearly ideal temperatures: the warmest I can tolerate without needing ac. The high humidity = less dense air, another factor in our favor.

Next tank won't be as good. I'm currently on a roughly 300 mi road trip to the NY City area. High heat and rain have taken their toll.
