Well I got my grid charger from Hybrid Automotive on Thursday. Installed it that evening and started charging at midnight. I left it on charge until about 7 this morning, unplugged it and disconnected the 12v battery to reset the system. Took it for a test drive and filled the tank up. I have about 37 miles on the tank now and the gauge on the dash is reading about 43 mpg. That's better than it was previously getting that early in the tank. Actually it's better than most of my tank averages.

The car also starts and runs smoother. I haven't gotten a single recal yet, where I was getting them every couple of miles and no lights have come on yet either. I will update as I get more mileage on the recharge.

I would also like to add that Jeff at Hybrid Automotive was very helpful and prompt about answering my questions. Also, I live in VA and ordered the charger Monday afternoon and he got to me from CA on Thursday.
