They are about to, for sure, running to 46volts, that's as low as the charts go.

I think U made it home by the skin of your teeth.

This is just my opinion and or advice, your choice to follow it or not.

My intent was to run them down. As I said earlier this was a worst case test, I never even approach this condition in my daily travels, which does include brownwood, lopez, golf, dinner, night travel etc.

160 mpg refers to the fact that it cost $1.00 in electricity to go 44 miles.

$1.00 of gas @$3.80/gal is 0.263 gallons of gas.

If you go 44 miles using 0.26 gallons of gas your vehicle fuel usage rate is

44/0.263 = 167 mpg (~160 mpg).
