On Saturday the mini van got a good workout. Back and forth from the neighborhood across town to a softball clinic for the girls (wow they like softball!). I offered to car pool and ended up with 6 very energetic 8 and 10 year olds, and boy can they make a lot of noise - the ear drum splitting headache causing type. So I figure I transported 7 people, the mini van gets 25 MPG, then I must have gotten an honest 175 passenger miles per gallon? How does that work? Like a municiple bus gets like 6 miles per gallon of diesel, yet carrying 50 passengers the bus is getting 300 passenger miles per gallon. Is there actual efficency here?
Saturday I took the bike to the hardware store and picked up another 2-six pack of pumkin ale. A descent 3 mile round trip on the e-bike.
Today, Sunday I went for bagels, a good 2 mile round trip.
[Note: I need to contact Wilderness Energy, the charger seems to not be working well. The likely problem is road grime on the bike-side charger receptor. I am not too sure how agressive I can get cleaning out the charger receptor. Perhaps, this is a part I should wrap daily with fresh electric tape to keep the grime out.]
Monday, I start maintenance work on the bike. I should pick up another couple 6-packs of pumpkin ale, the last ones were short lived - neighbors, they like it too.
