So this weekend we did a lot of driving, hey new car means adventures right…  We did the usual Brandon activities (badminton & swimming) and after dinner Maggie & the boy went back to Commander to play some more badminton so I figure I’ll take the Toyota Prius out and try some of those Prius driving tips to get better gas mileage.

On city roads I can run on EV mode anytime I want now though it’s only good at maintaining speed, not enough power to actually accelerate.

Today I went to the range with some people from work Patricia, Hannah & Shafi.  Hannah has her license but they were all new to shooting and it was fun to see the big smiles when they had after shooting each gun.  I brought 9 guns for them to try out, a bunch of pistols, some rifles and a shotgun.  I don’t I don’t have the group picture we took but Shafi did capture me shooting a S&W 686 revolver in slow motion and that’s pretty cool!

Very neat to see the ring of fire that comes out of the barrel!  We left just after 12, everyone was tired and had a great time, they all shot pretty well and haha I think they’re hooked. 😉

So the driving tips I read online worked pretty well, 

We put on quite a bit of mileage but that’s how it always goes at the beginning right, after 554.6KM, I still have 1/3 of a tank according to the gauge and 4.4L / 100km is equivalent to 53.4 MPG for my American friends.  That’s freaking awesome, yes I have to drive slow (going ~110km/h) but hell that’s fine if I’m getting great mileage!  What will also take some getting use to is people flying by me but hey I’m driving a Toyota Prius, not a Ferrari!

All in all a great weekend now I’m just relaxing and will clean some guns shortly.
