In the Black Widow I saw about an 8-10 mpg gain just from EOCing, and I wouldn't mind getting Turtle closer to 80 mpg at all!

Anybody know what type of kill switch set-up works best in the Insight?
From what MetroMPG told me, he rigged a fake fuse by using male spade connectors into fuse #8 under the dash, then a female into the fuse itself. Then from the other end a female, into the fuse box a momentary switch. Hit the switch, kills the coils, off goes the engine while maintaining auto stop parameters.
