01/15/2003 Entry: "Cold Traffic Jams Suck the Soul Out of My Poor Car"

There were big traffic jams both going to and coming back from work today. Traffic jams suck when the temperature's less than 40 degrees, because then the Insight's engine doesn't turn off when the car's idle. I just had to sit there and watch the daily mileage go down and down and down. It hit 7 mpg before traffic finally started moving again. Not a pretty sight. Daily mileage was only at about 42 mpg for the entire day. Down from 53 most of the rest of the week.

And then to make matters worse, I just found out I was wearing my shirt inside-out the entire day.
