Love this warmer weather!
Plus with daylight savings time I don't need lights for my evening commute. I can EOC both ways now.

Most recent fill was 40.47 mpg, up from about 35 before the time change.

If you're trying to guess what headlights have to do with EOC, it's about long coasts with headlights on drawing down battery voltage. Not good for the battery, and I also am not really keen on headlights dimmed by running on 11.x volts instead of about 14V.
