Just did a 48 mile run, half city, half highway. Probably one of the worst city runs I've had. Ran into road repairs and traffic. Highway I went a little faster than I wanted to. But nonetheless, with all the cardboard glory, with the spoiler removed on the highway, I got 41mpg. EPA combined is 30, I before got about 32, beta v2 city alone got 38. I'm sure I could get 43+ pure highway alone.

But for now, all the cardboard is coming off, and it's back to the drawing board. I want to design a full kammback that hinges so I can still have full access to my trunk. That may be over my head. I am very interested in trickle charging, and will look into that.
