ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

[Harvey]

Odd... I'm up in Lake Placid this morning, and every up here says Verizon is the go-to cell provider.

Well I should have said SoAdk or Gore Mountain region.

The cabin is a little bit different than deer camp. A phone there seems important — like I am out skiing with the only car while wife is back in the cabin. Plus I can go more often if I can do some work when there. When we build our house I hope to do some WFH to stay in touch with the project.

Back to cars, the CRV hybrid is kind of a disappointment. It drives well enough, with a smooth honda engine, but the assembly looks to have been pretty careless. We bought it without much thinking, I just assumed it would be like every other Honda I've ever had.

No worries, we know you're a SoAdk person. Just interesting as it pierces ATT's Hertz veil: "We're # 2 but we try harder."

True

I wasn't knocking your comment, rather mentioning that being able to escape my phone, without having to lie about no cell service, is nice.

 

[Harvey]

I also wasn't knocking. We had no phone at the cabin by choice from 2001 - 2006. When my wife was pregnant and I was off skiing all day, it seemed like the only way.

I knew that. He isn't getting any money for his charger's. And you sir are a dick. Congrats

Oooo, name calling and a statement supporting yourself. The last bastion of I have no answers.

Yes, they certainly have their place. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have the freedom that I now enjoy at work.

Stating a fact is not name calling. Again I'm not wrong but I'll agree to disagree

for anybody that’s interested the real highway mpg for the Sienna is more like 31 than 35. Since I’ve been using it daily, it’s slowly creeping back up

 

[Harvey]

Is that from "learning" how to drive the hybrid or maybe some break in?

Both are in play with our CRV. I feel like the first 1000 miles were lower mpg. We were getting 35 and now about 45 around town. Still don't have a good highway number.
