I've said that we bought a Toyota Corolla Hybrid in January.
It's been a nice, basic, little car, and, perfectly adequate for us so far.
Due to the quarantine, we don't drive much. It has less than 2,200 miles on it and we've had it more than 4 months.
It has a feature that tells you what your miles per gallon are. You can reset it, but we never have so we know our miles per gallon from the first mile.
For some reason, at the beginning it was only getting in the 20s. But, that number has been climbing.
Yesterday it inched up to 53.7, and stayed there.
That's good. The sticker said that it gets 53 in the city and 52 on the highway, so more than 53 beats the average.
Interestingly, I seem to do better on the highway than around town.
The rate at which the average has been increasing has been slow so I'm not sure how much higher that this we'll get.
But, it's a nice economical little car.
We ran some errands today. We to the lawyer to drop off stuff related to mom's estate, went to the bank, etc.. It was mostly low mph driving and the average mpg went up to 54.0. Wow!

ReplyDeleteWe drove to the Reading area, 15-20 miles one way, today, to go to 00our favorite little bagel café to celebrate Evie's birthday. (We had to eat in the car, but it was nice.) The bagel place was a relatively short drive before we moved.
Yesterday, the MPG had just ticked up to 54.3. By the time we returned home today, it read 54.5.
The battery definitely loves warmer weather.
55.3
