The kill switch is moving higher in my priorities. Perhaps mostly because I don't want the mess and hassle of putting in the lower radiator hose heater. However, this morning's commute in was my best ever (53.6mpg), but there's still so much I could do to make it better. I was idling at a stop light this morning, looking at my Scangauge showing .31-.34gph (lights on, heater fan on low) and thinking "what a waste". You guys are such a bad (good) influence on me.

Guess my next goal is two weeks on a single tank of gas (while still retaining enough in reserve to be safe during this winter driving season). Uggh, the first big winter storm is upon us, guess it's time to get out the snow tires and get them mounted up.
