Just a quickie :-)

Last weekend I got a chance to replace the rotors and brake pads. Both were relatively easy and I did not run into any snags. Even without the extra weight the OEM front rotors are a known weak point for the Vue. With the new brakes and rotors the braking is definitely improved.

Today I decided to push the range limit while out doing errands. I went 35 miles using 80% of the battery charge. This means that "dead empty" is probably about 45 miles. As a practical point 35 miles is probably the max range I would want to go. And I would not want to do it on a regular basis as it shortens the battery life.
