^^ One thing I forgot to mention on my earlier post, Ecky. I'm still running RE92s @ 60 PSI, so that probably helped FE compared to the Nokians I'm assuming you're running? I think you said you usually run them at 47 PSI?

Ordering some goodies for the Insight here soon.

LED brake lights, CK-safe or whatever: https://www.amazon.com/Alla-Lighting-Extremely-7443-Replacement/dp/B07D9TDWS7/

LED running lights for up front: https://www.amazon.com/VehiCode-Super-Bright-Lumens-Yellow/dp/B07F2PY3ST/

Reason: Brighter output + lower voltage, helpful in EOC.

12V battery voltage & temperature monitor: https://www.amazon.com/DROK-180037-Temperature-Multimeter-Thermometer/dp/B00SXZAI4W/

Reason: Not much driving + cold temps + IMA disabled = good to keep tabs on my 12V status. It's a new battery (replaced < 1 month ago) but I want to be sure all is well.

Really appreciated the view out my panoramic mirror during the drive down here. Will be replacing my tacky driver's side mirror with a flat coroplast piece like the passenger side has, and will then attach a smaller mirror to it, something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/SEIKOSANGYO-CO-EW-69-Side-View-Adjustable-x/dp/B01CODEIKS/. That won't be until spring break though since I don't have access to my coroplast sheet, and it really isn't practical to have one on campus..

Currently averaging 33.1 MPG over 12.0 miles, all on campus driving with cold engine trips < 3 miles, plus about 10 minutes of idling to help jumpstart friends' cars. So my driving is about 40-ish MPG....not too bad considering most cars would be 15-20 MPG under the same driving, Prius maybe 25 MPG.

Still haven't filled up yet from my trip to college.
