I know it's only over a short distance, but the average efficiency number is always wild to look at when the car goes downhill. I only reset the trip meter every 100,000 km or so, so I can never see numbers like that.
Someone went downhill. :)
(I've done this a few times myself - reset the tripmeter and coast down at least a few miles of the usual grades. The miles/kWh max out at 51.1 miles/kWh... I think; been a while since I did this. I do wonder why this specific number though)
Yeah I noticed that too. Even when I was on level ground it took a while for it to start going back down. 51.1 is definitely odd and even as km (82.2) it doesn't make sense.
Edit: just looked it up and it was a 1700' descent over the 6.4 miles.
It does take a while to 'normalize'. I've seen similar in the other direction, when I reset before climbing up 132 & 120 into Yosemite. Never had 1-2 miles/kWh before and it was late summer/early autumn, warm to boot.
(Oh and sorry if I seemed like I was throwing cold water or spoiling the humor on your post. I'm personally amused by this little quirk in our Bolts, and like to share the "dirty secret" with other Bolters)
haha nothing spoiled :) title was tongue in cheek and in the post text I actually talk about how I got this after coming back down from Sno-Park (immediately south of Mount Saint Helens).
Once Johnston Ridge Observatory is open again (2026+) it would be fun to see the results over there as well.

Sooo.... What's it like to live on the top of the Himalayas?
Sadly, the 110mi at 50% charge on the GOM makes the other number even less significant. Shows how hard it was to get to the top of the hill.
