With the fire danger up for today thru Friday, I topped off my tank. It’s a 20 gallon tank and it took about 6.5g to fill it, but now I’ve got 400+ highway miles if it’s needed.

A hybrid is the way to go. More complex than all electric, but much better range and practicality on the highway going distance — good in heavy traffic too. Toyota Camry hybrids and Prius seem to be all over the place here. I’ve seen a few Tesla’s and Nissan Leaf’s, and while Tesla has pretty good range, is the charging infrastructure in place to make a cross country trip realistic. How do those power outages effect that infrastructure?
