Thanks for the perspective on GAP and excess W&T insurance. In my 52 years of car ownership I’ve always paid cash whether new (2) or used (many). I had no idea lease paperwork for my Mirai would take so long, and by the time the question of insurance came up and the concepts were explained to me I was tired and cranky and in no mood to microthink the respective amounts of $25 and $22 per month so I decided on the spot that they didn’t sound like a total ripoff. In retrospect it should have occurred to me that I could have purchased those from my insurance company.
Meanwhile after 12 days and 250 miles of mostly highway driving I’m more pleased than ever with the car. For 0-60 mph I wasn’t expecting anything like the 6.2 seconds of my old E430 sport, but 9.4 seconds with only half the bhp isn’t half bad.
If you reset the trip meter when refueling, it plus the remaining range remains fairly constant at 305-315 miles. If the sum drops below 310 miles you know you’ve been pushing it (which I enjoy doing since Toyota is paying for the fuel).
