All right,

some of us don't have luxury of being in a 'climate controlled' region like some of you guys

So, today is the first official 'go to work day with a new hybrid (hey I got the hybrid friday!)'. So, armed with lots of knowledge and stuff to try, I jump out of bed and......

Realised that it's 14F (-10C) and it's snowing! The streets are slippery and somewhat icy / slushy.

This, is probably some of the worst conditions for someone to try and achieve good mileage (I would assume). So, two segments today:

- going to work: 13.48 miles, 36.75 miles per gallon
- coming back from work: 15.22 miles, 35.1 miles per gallon

This is 100% city driving (highways are so congested, their useless).

Coming back was the worst (a lot more stops and traffic). Having said this and considering the challenging conditions, I am still happy with the mileage that I am getting.

Still trying to optimize my technique. Now, we just need to find the best hybrid snow driving technique for people living in cold regions!

Cheers,
Stephane.
