Hmmm.... Come out early in the morning, set the choke, check it is in neutral
( or "Park") and yank the starter rope! This will save those precious amps....

Seriously, have you followed GM's reasoning behind the "Volt"? It's the same thing...except the Volt's battery is far better than a deep-cycle K-mart!
The Volt even has a charger in it...driven by gasoline ( diesel later?).
And...check out those side mirrors! Slick! I want one!!!
