Whoa! I keep looking at these numbers and remembering the fact that you rode nearly 24 miles and finding myself in disbelief. If I rode my bike 24 miles my start voltage would have been 41.8 and ending would have been something like 36v (climbing several steep hills as much as a mile and a half long). Yours dropped less than a volt? How? You pedal a lot, it seems. Road must have been very flat, no?

I thought that would likely be the solution.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
