Call it the price of your driving entertainment.I agree efficiency usually isn't fun Norm. But fun comes at a price.
I guess there are some people who can do that, but I'm not one of them. A modicum of efficiency as long as not too much fun is sacrificed is one thing, but the fun part has to still be stronger than the efficiency thing.Fun drags an ICE car down into the teens or lower twenties for MPG. Fun drags range down in an EV as well. Have a daily driver that's efficient and a second car that's fun. There's the compromise.
I'm from a time where 15 mpg highway for the average family car was on the high side of average, so with my '08 GT getting a bit over 25 and the WRX reaching for mid-30's sits just fine with me. In town, they're less, but I'm not wired to simply select 'Drive' or whatever it's called in EVs and mindlessly proceed toward my destination. Even the 4-mile trips to the grocery store and the big-box hardware emporiums are worth finding a little fun in.
