I'm pretty sure running the rex on high speed sections is the right approach. IIRC gas engines operate more efficiently at wide open throttle / full power. Although consumption is at maximum too, the kw produced for the amount if fuel used is higher. If the rex is running and just ticking over turn a lot of the power is being used to overcome the internsl resistance etc.pdurham said:..... So, if this theory is correct (and it is only a theory at this point), I maximize the total miles covered using battery power and minimize the gas consumption and time the REx operates by using the REx only for the higher-speed portions of the trip.

Love the sig, but what are port holes? I'm presuming you don't mean fenestration that is sea worthy.
busaman said:well i made it back ok without stopping for fuel a total of 134 miles with 7 left on the rex and 15 left on the battery.
busaman said:would anyone think that is a good first trip economy wise the traffic in London for the first ten miles was gridlock,
