2.407 kw-hr used
0.216 kw-hr regen
2.191 kw-hr total
To work: 5.8 miles
2.037 kw-hr used
0.316 kw-hr regen
1.721 kw-hr total
Round trip: 11.6 miles
4.444 kw-hr used
0.532 kw-hr regen
3.912 kw-hr total

Perhaps certain hills of Pittsburgh are to blame?
Yesterday, thanks to people at CMU's Field Robotics Center, we were able to weigh our cars:
The Civic weighs 2588 lbs, 167 lbs more than its gas-fueled equivalent's curb weight (if one believes Wikipedia) and has a left-to-right weight distribution of 50.3%, and front-to-back weight distribution of 52.1%.
The Scion weighs 2615 lbs, 220 lbs more than the original curb weight (again, Wikipedia) and has a left-to-right weight distribution of 50.8% and a front-to-back distributiion of 54.7%.
