Now you are mixing my words! I go 55 and get on average 330! If you want to challenge me to a test let me know where and when. I drive a good part of the time in California and will keep driving the way I do. I drive to save the environment not to save fossel fule like most people do.

I want everyone to know I am not promoting dangerous driving. I have been driving for 50 years throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. I am well aware of the laws and follow them. The worst drivers are now in California but reckless driving is rampant throughout the United States trucks...

Thanks! I did not know tip number 2 would do that! My last post was Tip of the day number 4 break-coast-break

Break-coast-break! The Bolt has amazing regenerative properties! It gets phenomenal milage in traffic especially bumper to bumper traffic. When on city streets and coming to a signal start breaking with the steering torque handel then coast to the signal. Never rush up to a signal then hit your...

I always drive in the slow lanes and only drive in the fast lanes when doing the speed limit. However, when I want to race I go out to the salt flats, care to join me? PS- I have not gotten a ticket for over 30 years, and I was a stock car driver in Irwindale and Riverside in the 60s and 70s.

I agree with you completely! When I was young it was a lot different and a lot less cars on the road. So speeding was different and less dangerous. There is a real issue with the ability of people behind the wheel and their ability to go fast. Especially with their attention on the roads. If...

I may go the minum speed limit and that is 45 mph throghtout the United States of America on all interstates and highways. Just so everyone knows the maximum speed on any interstate or highway in California is 65 unless otherwise posted 70 ! Anything in excess of 80 is considered reckless...

Happy Memorial Day - Tip number 3 - Speed is not as much of a factor if you stay at the posted speed limit. It is more important to pay attention to the terrain. I do not exceed 55 mph on interstates and Highways since that is the posted speed limits for Truck and cars with trailers. I still say...

I kept having the same issue posting pictures, lets see if this works. 330 miles 5.6 KW/M average this trip. I went up two steep hills.

Tip of the day number 2 - Watch your KW/miles average I like to stay between 5 and 7 averaging 6. This is attainable when you take control of your technique and terrain. Learn the roads and your car and watch the KW/Miles try to keep them above 5. You do not have to go 45 MPH all the time but I...

I have been driving a Prius 2 since 2006. I rent cars a lot of cars and get anywhere from 45 mpg to 75 mpg. Total gas to hybrids, had a 2014 EV Rav4 (140 miles to the charge) so I really understand what you are saying. I can say excellent driving to you.

Fine tune!

Well said, it took me many years to come tune my ability to tell the slope when driving. Look for my next tip tomorrow.

Most interstate' s are flat or built slightly down hill. So when I say level I mean flat, or as flat as it can be for the area it is in. I live in SoCal so I have several roads I take that fit this criteria. Sorry for any confusion!

It is possible to find routes that go from level to down hill both ways, it is possible I ha Be done it going to several locations.

Tip of the day! Enjoy the ride, before leaving on a trip plot you course on level to slightly down roads. Same for your return they may be a little longer but you will see the difference, and enjoy your trip more.

I am a food consultant and i have 9 million air miles over 15 airlines so when I can drive I will! That said this is just a test, I do not over inflate the tires nor have I changed any thing on the Bolt. So no addiction just fun for me, and a personal mileston...

I do not intend to recharge till I get to SJC Airport! It is 320 miles from my home and this is a real world test!

I keep trying to add picts but it is not working? Does anyone have any ideas? I am planning a trip from my home in Granada Hills; CA to San Jose, CA taking Interstate 5 it is 320 miles. I love a competition anyone who wants to test his or her hyper miler skills give me a shout? PS - I also owned...

Okay, so I am hypermiler and I am getting on average 330 miles to a charge with the Bolt. I have gotten as high as 365 miles and the lowest was 302. Has anyone else been getting these kind of numbers?
