... I'm sure you'll still watch that 25-30mph speed preference a little as you pass officers... one day, one of 'em might get curious and look closely at you, wondering... then come investigate. There's a chance of it anyway.

Thanks for the updates. Is it possible your controller is misreading voltage? I'm still dumbstruck by the range you are estimating. 192 miles seems really long for the setup you describe. (I guess I might just be envious!)

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.
