Kill switch died
My kill switch broke the other day. I got only 23.6 MPG driving home from work on Friday. Given the temperature, wind, and traffic on that day, I would have got about 36 MPG if the kill switch had been working.
On a subsequent highway run, the lack of a kill switch cost me only about 1-2 MPG. Anyway, I found a replacement at Radio Shack yesterday and installed it.
I estimated that I use that switch 110 to 150 times in an average week. That's about 25,000 actuations in the four years since originally installed.
