Just came back from San Jose from Los Angeles.  This time it took about 5 hours to travel to and from the two cities.  I started the drive up at 4:30 AM last Friday, no traffic, no sunlight, lots of early morning commutters, and a tank full of gas.

The Interstate 5 was an intersting drive, with only one pitstop at Harris Ranch at about 8 AM. The cattle must have been a couple of miles away as you can smell the heavy stank of the air. I drove past the small air field and the resort. They were just starting smoking prime ribs outside. I walked along the halls read the reviews and wandered into the gift shop.  Too bad i was not hungry or else i would have gone for a steak or something.

When carpooling with my coworkers on the 710 freeway, the 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid II (HCHII) is getting about 38 MPG according to the mileage computer. I suspect that it actually more like 40 MPG.  If you read my previous posts, you should know that i carpool with 3 other friends. I estimate the overall weight addition would be about 500 extra pounds. Read more...

After buying my honda civic hybrid in Dec 2008 i have commuting to work and adding about 350 miles a week to my new civic.  My average miles per gallon for the first 1000 miles was 37 MPG. After 1000 miles, the miles per gallon has increased to 43 MPG. Now with about 4000 miles, I am averaging a commute of 46 MPG per tank of gas.

I decided to travel up north and not hold back on my travels. Going up to Napa Valley and visiting my girlfriend in San Jose has 2 weeks has been very pleasurable in the small little civic. The drivers seat is very comforable and supportive on the drive up. Read More...
