Car has not started for five days

Been doing all my "driving" (an average of about 15 miles a day) on the ebike). On the bike I get an MPGe of about 3000. At $0.15/kwh this is nearly free. (But it cost me $1300+ to build the bike!) Anyway, I drove 340 miles to El Mirage and back for the LSR event last weekend, but my car has not started for a singe ordinary trip since June 10.

How about you? How much car-driving avoidance do you practice? How do you do it?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
