Has anyone made this drive in a Clarity? It is a 150-mile, 6,000-foot climb into thin air which robs engines of power. In winter, temperature in Flagstaff can be as low as zero F, robbing batteries of charge.
What I want to know is how to make this trip at 75 mph while keeping engine noise to a minimum. (No “angry bees”) ‘cuz I have an ear condition which would make the noise painful.
It just occurred to me that, while it would be dangerous to drive well below the limit when many drivers are traveling at 80 or more, it would be possible to tuck in behind trucks going 40, 30 or 20 on the steep uphills if that would help.
If it isn’t practicable to make this drive in a Clarity, I’d like to know it, preferably before I buy one 🤪
There’s some great info on the subject in the thread “Driving for Quiet.” Now I’m asking what modes and speeds did YOU use to make this drive and what were the results?
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
