I woke up early this morning, and Eri convinced me to make my measurement run to the gas station (irony!) in the morning instead of the evening. I took Melissa along, and we stopped to fill up the tires.
The trip was a delight, and a much better test of real operation than the jaunt to the park. After all, this time we were driving with the morning traffic, and we drove at speed much longer. I also used the gear-shift points I figured out yesterday.
The gas station air hose registered about 10 PSI too low (good thing I bought a tire pressure gauge I can trust). Melissa hurt her finger trying to work the hose, so she measured all the tires for me.
The only other problem was on the way home. A big 'ol pickup pulled out in front of me. A few seconds later, Melissa went, "Eww! What's that smell?"
Gasoline exhaust! For once, it wasn't the EV's fault.
