The wife and I drove from Central Massachusetts to Scranton PA and back this past Saturday morning in our 2002 Acura TL. We left at 6am and returned home around 2:30 pm. That's almost a 400 mile round trip in 8 1/2 hrs. We did it on 1 tank of fuel. We topped it off before we left and filled it at a gas station less than 10 miles from the one we topped off at because the fuel light came on (I'm sure we could have made it home).
Mrs. Shooty and I (she shoots as well) were discussing electric cars on our trip. What about power shortages? The west is already struggling with electricity. They are now planning, and not just discussing shutting down two of the biggest and most important hydroelectric plants in the west. How will you guys charge your cars with power rationing and rolling blackouts? It took about 8 minutes to get our car ready to drive another 400 miles.
Here is an old family photo of me and the Mrs. doing some yard work.
