More concerns learned "the hard way":
In the focus, last night, doing the first EOC at night. Apparently, my headlights do not operate when the key is turned to "accessory". Couple of seconds of pitch-black highway driving in the middle of a relatively busy highway = terrified me and girlfriend (who wasn't aware that I was even doing that really). Also, apparently in the Ford Focus, if you turn from accessory back to "on" very quickly, apparently something bad happens with the RFID-authentication, and the car won't restart again... So I had to coast to a complete stop on the side of the highway, take the key out completely, put it back in and restart the car. The security light on the dash was blinking while I was coasting and trying to restart it, so that's all I can think of.

Be careful out there!

On a positive note, best tank of gas I've had yet.
