The Learning Curve

When I bought my new car I gave my “old” (2020) one to my niece. She was driving a 2009, so she’s really having to study all of the technology upgrades.
Little did I know that switching to a hybrid involves a learning curve as well. The amount of upgraded technology is one thing, but the “finesse” of driving a hybrid is quite another.
I’m happy to say that the car is getting over 37 MPG, and I look great for getting a hybrid right before the gas price skyrocketed.
I’m certainly enjoying the lessons!

Oh I didn't realize your new car was a hybrid. I'm curious about those

The only thing better would have been if you bought gas right before the prices started skyrocketing.
My son has a F150 powerboost and it has so many gizmos. He even runs a generator on it. Amazing what technology is out there now.

That's great that you're getting such good mileage from it. We filled up immediately before the price rise. Hopefully we're for at least a little while.
