65 Miles Per Gallon & New Site Announcement

OK, so I just had to post this because this is my new record and I’ve posted previously about my new low rolling resistance tires and what that means for gas mileage. I'm actually writing this from my car while sitting in a parking lot. I know I’m weirdly passionate about this stuff, but hey, would you want to read a blog written by someone who isn’t passionate about the topic they're covering?

 Anyway, I was able to achieve 65.2 miles per gallon on the way to work this morning. I’ve mentioned previously how driving habits can impact fuel economy greatly and I know it was only 21 miles and I did baby the car up-hill, blah, blah, blah,… but I usually only get around 52-54 in the morning. Not sure if I can point part of this to the tires, but I’m thinking that they didn’t hurt my case.

My next post will be on a handy little device I just started using to kill the charger monster (not Philip Rivers) in my home!


One other quick aside… I took the plunge and registered potentiallyenergetic.com, so in the next few weeks I will likely be migrating the blog to the new site along with more of a web page kind of feel. More to come on that, but as I mentioned, I’m passionate about this topic, I very much enjoy writing about it, and I hope you enjoy reading about it! That being said, I’m also extremely interested in understanding what you would like to hear more about. I would image more people have been waiting to hear about the business case involved in the 10 kW solar array I have on my home and why it’s a good investment. I will be writing about that soon, but if there are topics you would like to see me cover, post a comment here or drop me an e-mail (dennis@potentiallyenergetic.com) and let me know. If it’s a device I already own, great, if not, I can help you justify the cost to your significant other (because I will have to justify purchasing it to my wife!). :o)

Until next time… same electrifying place…. more electrifying channels!
