I've been driving the car a few times this week in eco mode. Nice to see even with some mods removed for a short time that I can hit 55 mpg without working too hard. My Wife is still commuting with it but soon I will attempt a return to work and need to get back in the saddle.

Today I plugged in the car for the first time since spring to top off the battery after a long drive. The timers I am using have enough battery to keep time after 4 months, that's pretty good!

In answer to the fellow wondering about the state of my battery...Trojan 12V AGM 24 deep cycle with enough power to P&G for 1 1/2 hours with the lights on and the fan on medium at -20C to 50% DoD. I think it's 500 Cold Cranking Amps, 1kwh. A tad more than stock.

The car is always plugged in when it's cold out so the engine is always warm, I think that should help in the fuse department.
