| Hi Fastmover,
I guess I should update my profile...thanks for the reminder. I am from Michigan and it gets very cold here. And yes the zippy car is in the garage all of the time. I have thought about the engine heater but I wonder about the cost of keeping it plugged in overnight vs the lower mpg. I do have a hill that begins at the bottom of a traffic light and if I can't time it right then I get stuck climbing it from a stand still position. I could go about 2.5 miles out of my way but the hill gets us over the highway to the main road where I work. I know I said I am 4 miles but I think it's actually 3. I'll check it tomorrow.
I had a guy ask me my mileage today and he said he was shocked that his non hybrid toyota ( an older 4 cyl ) gets about 30 in the city. He thought I should have gotten a lot more. But I am almost sure his 4 cyl doesn't have the pick up that the hybrid does...
Thanks for the reply's I really enjoy learning about my car. I love it! |
