IMA light went out day before yesterday. Just cruising along, suddenly *blink* and it isn't there anymore.

Yesterday on a beer (actually cider) run, the CEL light went out too. Just cruising, *blink* and it's gone.

When those things stop nagging at me, I'd like the car to give a little fanfare, like the old Windows 98 "ta-dah!" Like, "congratulations, we're not going to leave you stranded! We're not going to arbitrarily send you to the shop to get a light turned off! Ta-dah!"

Running average MPG is down to 54.1, damned hills. This is going to take some work to figure out where this thing's sweet spot is.
