An excellent, well-written post, tik.

Anything to make diabetes management easier...
Not worried. There's nothing there that doesn't already exist out in the world.

I've concluded that her hybrid does 2 things well...
Not a Maverick, but related for comparison purposes: my wife's 2025 hybrid Escape Platinum, now at 13,000 miles is averaging 46.4 mpgs and about 605 miles per tankful.
My 2024 Maverick Tremor? 26.2 mpgs, and I'm feeling mpg envy!
