And maybe only three times my rate. I would have to double check. $0.17/kwh right now I think.

Also, this is the first time I recall a "reliable source" citing a specific belt efficiency. Ninety-eight percent is pretty efficient, which is what we thought. It has an electric clutch and just freewheels with the windings are not activated. So keeping my alt belt on has obviously not cost much and it leaves me the alt on demand with my dash-mounted switch.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
