X75 or rent a car to leave the hurricane

[MikeQ]

If you head to Orlando (I'm near UCF) you're welcome to top off here. I've got a 7kw generator in the event power is down.

Shouldn't stop and go traffic help my range since I'll be under 65mph.

Should I turn off music and lower ac to increase my range? I won't be using any USB ports until I get to a charging station.

Speed is key: the hypermilers get massive range by driving well below the speed limit. If in traffic, try and be smooth: no sudden accelerations. Use range mode to get a few extra miles of range, as it puts HVAC in eco mode. Keep A/C at a sane number. You might get a bit warm, but there are worst things in life.
I would not worry about using USB ports, that power usage barely registers when compared to the energy used to move the car. Don’t know about the audio system, but am sure it is very low.

Leave ASAP, traffic seems already very bad. Stay safe!

Not 100% true. I live in Houston and around where I live, I didn't see gas supply was/is a problem. When my street was flooding with 1 foot deep of water, guess what car I took it out? My wife's non ev suv.
