At the peak!

My car has reached its peak mileage for the year, 51.65 miles per gallon.
(21.96km/liter, 63.03 miles per imperial gallon, 4.55 liter per 100km)
It is a hybrid car (PriusC) and very sensitive to the temperature of the
air around it. It does much better in the summer, and worse in the winter.
If you chart it against air temperature at time of gas purchase you can see
it more clearly:
Last year I got much better mileage than this year. I’m thinking that was
the weather as it was a cooler than normal summer.
We’ll see how the winter goes.
Snow really kills it.
The heater, light, wipers all add to the reduction in the cold. But,
pushing snow out of the way is by far the worst.
Hopefully it won’t be a bad winter.
We’ll see.

But, I had planned to keep mine for the long haul anyhow.
