Day 7

I'll probably have to turn in the car tomorrow after work. I'm getting a little too attached to it.
This is pretty cool. I left for work at 7 am this morning and it's about a 14 miles commute, all city driving. I decided to check my average MPG once I got to work, it was 60.6, VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!! But you also have to factor in the fact that next to no one is on the road that early in the morning.
My drive home is another story. I left for work at 4:15 pm and got home at around 5 pm. That is the start of the rush hour. Although the streets aren't exactly a parking lot, you find yourself with your foot on the brake a lot. When I got home it said that my average MPG for the last 28 miles was, 43.5. That's an average 26.4 MPG for my drive home, pretty low. But in the morning the AC isn't needed, in the afternoon it is, without AC I'm guessing the MPG is going to be about 30. Over a 30 MPG difference from driving to work and driving from work.
Well gotta say goodbye to the car tomorrow. I'm going to miss it. In a few days I'll have my conclusion and full opinion about the Prius and hybrids.
