The Sweetie test has...flexible... restrictions. She's actually kind of jazzed about the idea of pushing the car into a higher MPG bracket.

"You're how high in the leaderboard?"

"Uh, middle teens? Highest Civic hybrid though."

"You're pretty sure you can do better?"

"Sure."

"Go for it."

Then she described how we might test for the adhesive's compatibility with the car's finish by putting test swatches directly on the paint, inside the door jambs.
