I'm sorely tempted. I currently have a C-Max Energi, and I have the benefit of a free charger at work and at numerous restaurants in the area. I expect the work charger but not the public ones to be free forever, but even my home charger works out to the equivalent of $1.75/gal gas.
Well, if you want to clean your brakes, how else? You can do multiple hard stops, but that tends to upset those behind you, far more than braking down a hill. ;-)
Wow. Having written software that attempts to track a similar set of events, I can understand a bug after you do that long and (admit it!) rather unlikely sequence... Good detective work!
Many years ago, somebody in front of me lost their left rear wheel, and I managed to run over a brake shoe with *both* of my left tires. Of course, I only had one spare!
