147,000 milestone (600 EV miles)

August 30, 2007 by Rob.

I’ve been getting so used to driving around the RAVolt that I was surprised to see the odometer tick over 147,000 yesterday.  I pulled the engine out at 146,390 so that makes over 600 miles CO2 free.  I think that’s a huge accomplishment and 599 miles farther than many people expected I would go; however, in practical terms it’s just a paltry 24 gallons of gas offset.   In fact, that’s just 3/4 of a Hummer’s 32 gallon fuel tank!   (note: Hummers get 8-10 MPG)

Yesterday was another 30 mile day.   I drove most of it on 360 and still came home with plenty of charge for local driving.
