Two years ago , we traded our 2005 Yukon XL for an economy car . My wife missed it so much that she bought another one . I have to admit , it drives great , has lots of space and is built to last . I showed her some good deals on minivans , but she refused .

Well , pops sold the mountain house when I was 18 and moved the family to San Bernardino (big bummer) . Later , I bought a home at 4200ft elevation on the Cajon Summit . I miss the cool air of California but can't stand the rest of it . My children would probably have to commute more than...

Interesting stuff . I grew up in the San Bernardino Mountains and know that must have been a leap of faith to drive that trip . . It sure would make the Leaf a better option if the dc charging was more available . I like the idea of leasing a new one , but don't know if I would qualify ...

I checked out that plugshare site and it seems there is no way to make it from Fort Worth to Houston without 8 hours of charging @ 6.6kw . The DC chargers are either too close to my home or too close to Houston to do any good . Too bad they don't put the chademos at every Walmart parking...

I am fairly new to the forum and interested in the Leaf . I was wondering how far people can get from home if they use DC charging stations . I noticed a used Leaf for sale near Houston about 250 miles away from my home in Fort Worth . Is it feasible to do something like that ?

" 45 miles to work (could charge there from 8am-5:30pm usually dont leave for lunch and probably only on 110v) " You would use little or no fuel commuting to work and should get a 95% charge while there for another 35 or so miles . " 69-71 miles - work to university...

I’m not disputing you have higher rates; I lived in California for 38 years. For those shopping for vehicles that mostly or exclusively use electricity such as the Leaf, FFE , Tesla , Fisker , Volt or Miev , the minor differences in efficiencies of the ICE’s are irrelevant . Special...

I never use premium because I refuel every 2 months . Premium is suggested for those who keep fuel for more than 6 months . I understand things are different in California , I lived there for 38 years . However , I explained my results , not yours . BTW , .08 is not special . Rates as...

I see how you got confused when they mix both electricity and gasoline . We are comparing fuel economy aren’t we ? The confusion comes from the way hybrids consistently burn gas and store energy and the Volt runs on electric motors and converts gasoline into electricity only when the battery...

I have a Volt and doubt if the Prius ICE is more efficient . You get good results because your battery pack improves your economy by using the stored energy created from regeneration . The last two days I drove almost 150 miles . Today I drove 61.6 miles . 8.6 miles on the ICE used 0.2...
