Average speed is about 22 mph. That's p&g in 35, 45 and 55 mph speed limits, plus stops along the way.

I'm actually not grid-charging this car right now. I might in winter, but I've taken steps to reduce the need for that - the LEDs and eco headlights. It's not quite enough, but a top-up every month keeps it going. I've not tracked the power used for that.

I disabled the automatic DRL's by pulling the fuse.

Tires at 55 front / 50 rear psi. The tail gets a little sideways-happy any higher than that - very UNlike the civic with its perpetual understeer.
