Wow! gas mileage
So my FrankenSpree is a great commuter here I Kally! I have been getting about 90 mpg running no lights or battery. But at night when I run a 12 volt 50 watt light on the headlight circuit, the mpg drops to mid 70's. I know the drag on the generator will bite into the mpg but that seems like a lot.

Re: Wow! gas mileage
doesnt take much to put drag on these little motors.
Nothing like getting stroked!

Wow! That is one eye opening factoid. I'll have to consider putting some in-line switches onto the light circuit!
