Fluff piece on CNN about a guy who spreadsheeted his attempts at intimacy with his wife and the results of each attempt-- they didnt mention names, but i'm thinking i might know his TI alias.
LOL!
The entries were pretty much all the same "No," followed by an excuse, "I'm all sweaty," "I feel gross," "I need to shower [then never showered]." Amusing :'(
I guess it depends if a person on the following factors;
1. Pure EV or Plug in
2. If a person stays home during the day
3. If you have a Smart thermostat that runs during the day
Correct me if I'm wrong. But if the answer is Plug in, No, No then the plan makes sense?
this is the importance of the 80% rule. she starts to act like this you kick her to the curb and you wont have to pay much in the way of alimony.

@OS:
With all your stay at home kids, wired equipment, EV and AC... how are you staying at < $100 when others can't get below $150?
The summer saver discount?

Yes. It's a $51 discount.
Here's a snip of the most recent bill, mid June to mid July:
Here's the same usage on a standard residential rate, sans summer saver:
So the crazy thing is TOU was actually more expensive this month. I'd have been better off doing a standard rate rather than TOU; my bill would have been $67 ($118 usage - $51 saver) instead of $107 ($158 usage - $51 saver).
But it works the other direction in the winter.

In the beginning, you don't have enough time for a spreadsheet... later on... you don't have enough data for a spreadsheet.

Difference is that you have to plug in the EV car so it won't go nowhere if the battery charge is close to 0%. There are days that I forget to plug in my Prius and it's fine. My gas cost is closer to 7-8 center per mile so it's not as big of a deal if I forget to charge the car.thatOSguy said:

Yup, the other cars get slightly worse gas mileage than the plug-in Prius. My electric charge only lasts about 10-12 miles (depends on how fast I'm driving or how much I brake). My gas mileage goes down to about 40-45mpg when I'm driving to Vegas on the open highway going 80+ mph.thatOSguy said:
