Since my new car involves so much technology, I thought it met my blog guidelines (i.e. libraries, technology & travel), so here’s a photo of it! I’ve had it exactly one week, and so far I like it. It’s interesting to watch the screen on the dash to see where the energy is coming from – gas motor, electric motor, and/or battery … don’t worry, I still watch the road too! I think it will take a little practice to get the best fuel efficiency. Right now, I think I’m averaging about 45 miles per gallon.
I haven’t driven it too much yet. Other than driving it home from the dealership in Peoria, I’ve only taken it on my usual short trips – work, church, grocery store. And today I road my bike to work! It’s way too nice to drive, and it’s still better for me and the environment than driving, even if I drive a hybrid.
