I did not consider a brake switch. But it makes sense. I just was not aware of them. It's a momentary switch, I would guess, so I probably would have decided against it. One thing I like about the on/off style is you don't have to hold it down for that split second, which sometimes turns into an entire second. My hands are freer, even though I need to flip it back to on before I bump it.
One thought I wondered about for a second was a left foot activated switch, like my 74 Olds Delta 88 had for the highbeam headlights.
On the fuel mix... I don't think we're on winter fuel yet, are we? Took a run up the 5 to Santa Ana and Orange this morning, even without my wheel skirts back on yet, and even while doing relatively little P&G, I averaged about 65 mpg. Given what i saw the last two weeks without the airdam, i would bet Id be closer to 60 or 61 if I had not reinstalled the airdam yesterday. Amazing what a little lawn edging can do!
