I DO have the shifter hooked up. I just thought that the different gears will effect the acceleration differently.

What the heck. I will do all three gears and compare them.

I TOTALLY WISH I HAD A FORKENSWIFT LED GAUGE!!!! (Love that thing!)

And by the way, I WAS eco-driving while I got the ticket. There were a couple of hills involved and I was "driving without brakes". Seriously, I WASNT even touching the go pedal when I got nailed!

It was 20 miles before I saw the voltage start to drop. Pulling over and then driving home after was about another half a mile.
