The Miata took its maiden voyage for 2019 today driving to Red Deer and back. Drove 125-140 both ways with the hard top on.

7.5L/100km, not stellar but it was windy and I was going a good clip.

The wind was quite something. I was doing 14 L/100km this morning because of this driving from Red Deer to Innisfail. This evening in calm conditions I did 12.6.

I asked Siri what the wind speed was and she responded “not that windy at 23 km/h”. I disagree about the not that windy part.

Well, I didn't drive much this month according to FleetCarma stats (Charge the north initiative)

My 2019 March stats are:
ODO 161,996 km
Distance logged: 1,637 km=> 90% were Electric: 1,473 e-km, so 10%: 164 km on gas
Fuel consumed : 6L x $1.50/L = $9
Electricity usage: 335kWh x $0.105/kWh = $35 **
$9 + $35 = $44 / 1,637 km =>  $2.70 / 100 km

** Even lower since I recharge my Volt every working at work, so about half of that amount.

Got my best tank of fuel ever on the Sequoia, 13.2 L/100km. That’ll be the best of it as we get ready to tow the trailer next month.

That's pretty good for a big, heavy V8 SUV.

Was there much city driving in there?

My van would do 12-13 in the city during the summer.  14 in the winter with winter tires and gas.

Over 729 km, maybe 100 city duty? It was mostly a highway tank driving to Red Deer and back, plus four drives from Red Deer to Innisfail for my son’s hockey games. A lot of driving this weekend. I was averaging 100-105 km/h. My old Sienna would’ve seen about 9-9.5 L/100km in the same condition but oh well.

I wonder if they’re getting off winter gas? My Ultra Gauge reported 99.5 litres of fuel used when it actually used 96.5 litres. I’m not going to recalibrate it for summer fuel.

We will see how gas prices change over the next couple of weeks.  With the imposed federal carbon tax in ON, SK, MB, and NB.  And summer demand kicks in.  Doing my business taxes now.  Last year in April/May, the highest I paid was $1.38/L for regular in Burlington.  That exact station has it at $1.24 now.  But crude oil is about $8 cheaper now.

Our weekly maximum prices are set overnight on Wednesday nights, but this morning the $0.05 per liter was added to the advertised prices in NB. Typical price for regular today was now $1.267

Just checked online, Costco hasn't changed it's prices.  Regular is still $1.079, 16 cents cheaper then my old regular station in Burlington.

Drove from my house in Ancaster to London about 115km.  Set the cruise to 110 km/h  on the Entourage.  On the way there I got 12.5 L/100 km.  No traffic.  On the way back same thing, no traffic, I got 11.4 L/100km.  The wind made all the difference today.  I wonder if I would have got in the 10's if the cross bars were off.

Trip to Vancouver, about 950 km round trip. I reset my consumption when I left and my mileage impressed me. 6 litres/100 km. I’m happy with that as my speeds were at times at 140 over the Coquihalla, but mostly 110 to 120.

That doesn’t seem great but my Sienna got about that much this time of year. It did better in the autumn.
