Hi Bob

>>>>>We went out for dinner the other night and she drove us to the restaurant, and I drove back, getting 51.7 mpg to her 38.9. Showed her my tricks and hopefully she's applying them. Coasting is definitely a biggie. As is using the brakes only enough for the regenerating effect. I bet I could get 100k miles out of a set of pads on that car.<<<<

Tell her next time that the person who gets the worst milage pays for dinner!

Or was it down hill on the way home >grin<

Maybe she was really hungry at wanted to get to the restaurant quickly!

More seriously it would be neat if you could control how much resitence the regen brake had so that you could use it to actually come to a stop.
