Week 2 of Driving A Hybrid Car!

Now we are getting into the facts and figures! 

Week 2 of driving the hybrid car. I put £20 of fuel in the Toyota Yaris Hybrid when I first got it 2 weeks ago and haven't been near a petrol station since (except for a sandwich!) 

The tech guys at Bridgend Motor Group changed my display settings in the car and now I can see how many miles to the gallon I am getting - currently 56.5 which is slightly lower than the 59 average for a hybrid vehicle. With a bit more clever driving I am aiming to get to that! They have also put a lot more statistics on the Toyota Touch display screen, but when I am driving I prefer to have podcasts or music streaming from my phone - great sound system by the way. Will
 get a good look at the statistics on screen for my next blog.

With all this rain that is happening just now one of my friends asked me if I wasn't afraid driving an electric car in the rain in case I got electrocuted!!!!  The answer - in case you are wondering - is NO! All cars have electrical systems and nobody ever worries about them. In the hybrid and electric cars the batteries are bigger and in an enclosed section of the vehicle well away from where they could get splashed going through big puddles. The things I learn to answer people's questions are amazing!

Now check out the fab decals on the Toyota! The sales team have been impressed with how many people have been reading the blog and coming in and talking to them about it. They thought it would be great if people could recognise me on the road so the Toyota now looks even better with the decals on. Won't be able to get away with being a bad driver or having road rage issues now will I!!!

Anyway if you see me out on the road give me a toot or a wave you can't miss the Bridgend Eco-mobile now!

Over and out for this blog post. Loving the eco friendly driving!
