By the way guys, thanks for the welcome! It's going to be a ton of fun to tinker on this throughout the coming year (or more).
However, I gotta get the attic EcoModded first. Apparently, air leaks weren't a big deal back when the house was built in '72. ~1200 gallons of heating oil last year and this year's price is @ $4.50/gal. Yes, that's $5400 to heat the house this winter. *gulp* Perhaps every buck I save in home heating oil, goes into the accord.
Speaking of savings... do most folks do ROI analysis on their car investments? I haven't seen too much, but then again, this is a deep site.
