Haha, I dunno about 70 mpg. I think we're being a bit optimistic. We shall see though.

I had a bad commute in this morning. I'm really not sure what happened. I tried more P&G than usual, and I did end up nailing two lights. The SG said I only managed 52 mpg.

I also started working on my kill switch. I only had a few minutes last night, but wanted to get something done. I found the kill switch pieces from my Paseo. It has a nice switch made for many cycles, and wire with crimped ends for the switch already on it.


The necessary bits. Side note, I find it quite funny that the Ford floor mats fit darn near perfectly in the Metro. I didn't know they weren't OEM (Chevy) until I saw the Ford emblem a few days ago.





Routing wiring.





Its just mounted with a zip tie for now. I'll eventually pop a hole in the rubber boot to hide the wire as well.





Tonight I'll get at the ECU and finish wiring it up.
