I see you edited your post, don't worry about it. I got a connection to where I am going. So, in a sence, it is local.
Now back on topic, I do have some secret stuff brewing for another project that I hope to post on Ecomodder soon.

Even more on topic: Recently I had my best individual commute to work, on winter gas and in some cold temps. I've been amazed at the difference changing the way I drive in the first 2-5 miles of my 42 mile commute. I'm seeing a 5-7mpg improvement in those first few miles. One of the keys is engine temp, therefore I plan on investing in some more serious engine heating and possibly adjustable grill block. As you may or may not know I do some home brew lean burn. The other key is getting into lean burn almost right after leaving my driveway. Once I get this fully resolved, I should start to see some 50mpg tanks again.
