100%

I've talked about the Volt making me really think about my driving habits but it was not until this morning on the way to work that I really understood just how much it has turned my driving upside down. I'm constantly scanning my environment, especially ahead of me, so I can plan my stops and avoid anything more than light pressure on the brake pedal. It's CRAZY how much sudden stops kill my mileage and my efficiency percentage. I've seen one hard stop take it down 10%. Of course the longer the drive, the less that one hard stop will affect my percent efficiency--that's just basic mathematics. My commute is about 17 miles each way. I hit about 15 traffic lights and four stop signs. Lots of opportunity to practice slooooow braking. Next post--why non EV drivers hate the Volt.
