It's too boring to see people post their high driving efficiency numbers, look I saved a few kWh, woo hoo....
I'm starting a poll for the worst driving efficiency in a Gravity, post your screenshots and weep 🤣 :p
To make it reasonably meaninglful please only post long term stats, not just a recent drive.
This post is just for fun, don't take it seriously, don't judge, it's meant to increase positive engagement on the forum, since we all know spirited driving = joy = worst energy efficiency.
I don't consider myself too crazy of a driver, but I really enjoy accelerating hard from the stop line and flying up hills, hence my average 2.66 mi/kWh.

Ha ha, I wish I took a photo of me cruising I-80 across Nebraska with my awnings & cargo bag on top of the car AND serious headwinds. I think my efficiency got as low as 1.6m/kWh at one point. Yikes. (in Gravity, btw)

That's much better than my Rivian R1S does when trying to save battery... Dips under 2.0 when driving 70+ on highway with baggage.
 
That's my long term because it was only a gravity touring loaner.:)

I lose, as my long-term sits around 3.1 mi/kWh.

For those interested in real-world road trips, my worst case so far is from Seattle to San Jose with a fully loaded Gravity (7-seater, small wheels), 70 mph speed limit for a large chunk (I’m driving faster), over mountains, and heavy rain at times. Wet roads sap a lot of energy. See Trip B.

dang...should've snapped a photo of that loaner with the 22/23's I was giving a daily thrashing for three weeks. Pretty sure it was sub-2.4ish

I'm curious how much terrain contributes to low efficiency, do you climb a lot of hills where you drive typically?
I'm in Sierra Nevada foothills and flying uphills with pedal to the floor is my favorite mode in Gravity, which largely contributes to my efficiency.

Uh…not a lot of mountains between NY and NJ, must be the heavy city air getting in the way.

Not gonna win…I can drive the 25mph speed limit crosstown and still beat you. I was closer to 1.7s
