I think I may lose my car this week.
My wife drove it on Monday and I pre-heated it for her before she left for work and again in the afternoon as she was leaving. Yesterday she asked where my jacket was and I told her I didn't need one* when going from warm house to warm car to warm office and back. I got a dirty look for that one.
Now she keeps asking when I have to commute again and reminds me that I should take her car for my Denver trips now. My ICE driving days are coming back it seems.
On topic comment: I used a little over half my range yesterday on trips that normally would have used about 20%. I'm going to blame the heater. Battery temp was 3 bars most of the day. I garage at night.
*I have a jacket in the car. I'm not a lunatic. When I worked at a consulting company in Wyoming, it was actually company policy to drive with jacket, boots, gloves, etc on when temps were this cold. They explained that in an accident up there, it could be an hour or more before help arrives and you would freeze to death first. That was my welcome to western weather after being born and raised in FL.
