I can see where I'll need to plug in the car now though (charger installed) as I am going a LONG way with the engine off, then using the starter. LOG(ing) away! I'm so happy!
Will you be starting a fuel log for the echo work car? Its good to hear you are having success with the bumpstarting.
The 2 weeks between fuel ups seems so long I get impatiant to see the new numbers for 90 day mpg. The next jump will be to 59mpg if I can keep up the results I am getting now. I emagine that after 59 mpg the number will rise more slowly as I aproach the 64mpg limit I am at now. I will soon be in the top ten gas cars group. I will then have to find some other way to the top, a boat tail perhaps...
