Originally posted by studegary View PostOn Wednesday evening, I happened to keep track. The three miles home from that parking lot took 15 minutes. That is an average of 12 MPH. The actual driving was 0 MPH to 57 MPH with a lot of traffic lights. Not really rush hour, but enough traffic for around here in suburbia.

Craig,
[QUOTE][We discussed here why one should have a battery maintainer attached if left for more than two weeks:/QUOTE] You are so right as this Denali loves a diet of batteries, and I only buy the best. We live in the BC wilderness 35 minutes from town so a variety of vehicles is required as road and weather conditions vary enough to choose the vehicle best suited for the current road conditions(snow, ice, loose gravel, ruts and potholes or even smooth conditions etc.) and expend-ability of the vehicle. The Subaru Outback gets the back seat(who would've thought I'd own a Japanese car although it was manufactured in America?). Long wheelbase Suburbans and the Denali XL are the best. As for Gary's experience, the only traffic we have is a cow, moose, deer, lynx, bobcat, coyote and so on so our trip almost always takes 35 minutes at 40 MPH. As for electric, what if we got to town, did our errands and didn't have enough juice to return home? I'll stay with my gas pots for security.
