I might pull the GasPods back off after ~two thousand miles just to see, if it would be of any interest - I guess everyone's read the Mitsubishi White Paper on the subject.

I do try to be as consistant driving as I can; always cruise control set at 69; exact same commute each week; traffic is light and never varies. Same two gas stations; same two pumps.

I am a professional ME - I had gotten the car to do an electric conversion, but the battery equation never made sense - the payback was too long, with $26K in LiFeMnPO4 batteries alone for a 115-mile range.

The discs are aluminum lenticular Moon discs; trimmed ~1/4" to fit inside the lip of the Honda alloys; screwed on with SS 10-32s, IIRC. Paint is Sherwin-Williams enamel; color matched to the car, and rolled-on as shown on innunerable web links - I painted my "little" car white that way!

The mirror-delete plates are painted the same way.
