Retired. I'd say it was a mid life crisis, but not many people live to 140.

4.4 was the lifetime average of my Bolt.

Lucky to cross 3.2 in the GTPE.

I don't consider fun factor for a car, they're pretty much only utilitarian to me. I get it for others though, instant torque is fun. I'm an engineer so I view the fun acceleration as higher torque which means more wear on the tires and drivetrain.
I don’t think I’ve ever owned a utilitarian car. I bought the first ā€˜71 Celica as such, but then I started throwing DOHC engines at them, spending God-awful amounts with Toyota Raping Division, bending anti-sway bars, punching out wheels, etc. ??

Yea, to be truthful I did a lot unnecessary stuff to my 2000 Mountaineer back in the day (painted multiple times, intake spacer, headers, programmed/tuned PCM, etc). So, I guess I'm a bit full of S

LOL I was just illustrating that all of the cars I have ever owned were toys. ??

Are we bragging? Complaining?
lol, neither. Just curious if others were having similar results. One of the ev calculator websites has my mach e defaulted to 2.7 mi/kwh, so I was a bit shocked when mine was actually running at 4.4.

The fun is where you make it. Some have fun leaving 300' of black marks on the pavement. Others have fun gamifying efficiency (hypermiling).

My CA Rt1 frequently gets close to 4 mi/kwh. It will average 3.5+ on the freeway.

It also depends on where you drive it: If you never drive on the freeway and often take long drives along 55 mph 2 lane roads you'll have a high mi/kwh value.

Suffice to say, it's an unusually high number. That's moving into Lucid territory.

In the MME I am at 3.7 over 32000 miles.

The Bolt is at 4.1 over 33000 miles.

The majority of our driving is low speed driving in the suburbs.

The higher the fuel efficiency, the less happy you are and the less fun you have
4.4 is a high score, maybe some help is needed?

Seems like a boring way to own a Mach-E. No trips? Haven't looked recently, but ours was 2.7 or 2.8.
since I sold my motorcycle I'm looking for a convertible for the fun part of trips. Mach e is my workhorse

The power on a GT is pretty addictive, my rwd premium was not as much of a blast

I have a GT and mostly get around that during the summer. Of course this year we had an emergency and had to help my father-in-law out for 6 weeks July/August so I missed summer and will have to wait until next year to see those kind of numbers. Now heading for the 1.8 to 2 range!
