Until the next day's economy figure leaves one flabbergasted. For now this new "high" has set the performance bar right up there in the clouds!

Its been a little over 3 months and 4000 km. Having gone through 5 different licenses in 3 jurisdictions over the past 30 years, one would expect I would know all there is to know about driving.

Yes?
No.

Consider this 108 Wh/km energy economy figure from yesterday:

This, by the way, is at par for driving in a mad metro like Delhi—one may even call these superlative figures. A no-hurry demeanor, coupled with soft piano music wafting through the JBL system, is enough to put anyone to sleep. An economy figure like the above is just icing on the cake.

One goes to sleep happy. Secure in the knowledge the car will be its usual self again in the morning.

Until the next day's economy figure leaves one flabbergasted. For now this new "high" has set the performance bar right up there in the clouds!

The answer lay in not giving A pedal input at all, and indeed that seemed to get the average economy down to 43 Wh/km. Until Ruby had to break a sweat climbing the 1 in 250 grade home—after which the economy figure reached 60 Wh/km

One lives and learns! Every single day!

In other news, due to not driving the Glanza at all, its battery threw a tantrum early morning. Prior to the Batmobile's visit, I have been charging it all day. As things stand at home, its quite possible the Glanza's engine or some other significant part may also throw a sympathetic tantrum!! Fingers Crossed!!
