Impressions After 6000 Miles

I was at a range of 4 miles when down to just 2 gallons left. What was your range when you parked next to the pump? Did range just go to 0 or read “empty”?
I kept driving after it said ‘0’, knowing that it was a 17.9 gallon tank, and from other folks on here, I figured that I had a significant reserve. I wanted as much of the E10 out of the tank as possible, as E0 was going back in to the fuel tank. I’m at ~1555 miles on the odometer now, and won’t need the E0 fuel after I get moved out of Florida permanently in a few weeks, since Miss Daisy stays parked in NC in my absence.
 
on the dashcam, the SD card is slid into the removable card holder. It's not glued; you can slide it to separate it from the holder.

You can use a 128 GB SanDisk card ($12 in amazon), which I did. It needs to be formatted as FAT32 to be recognized by the dashcam, which you have to do yourself. By default, cards larger than 32 GB will be in exFAT format.

The funny thing is, you can also use a 256 GB card, but the dashcam will only use 128 GB of that.

Have to really stretch down low to see the color indicator on the fog light button just to the left of the steering column. Toyota may need some human factors engineers.
Yes, true, and I had to read the manual to realize that the fog lights -- and thus the fog light button -- automatically turn off when the automatic head lights turn on high beam mode. Took me by surprise the first time I noticed it.

Speaking of the front buttons, t's also hard to see the AC power button which needs to be turned on for power inside the vehicle after the vehicle is turned on.. Since my wife uses her laptops on long trips, I have to search out that button by feel to turn it on while driving. I think I have it memorized by location now.

Yes, these cards are cheap and getting larger all the time. And there is no reason for a rigid upper limit on size for recording purposes which should be subject only to either the constraint of the file system exFAT which can handle Terabytes or the card itself. In fact, if you use a large capacity SD card, it will help it last longer since the duty cycle of writes determines how soon the card will fail!

I knew that the high beams use automatically turn off fog lights. I use that as a gauge in the winter when I see oncoming cars with bright lights and fog lights on. No need to flash them as they are already on low beam with likely improperly adjusted headlights. They may have cleverly overridden the feature that keeps fogs on with high beams. I for one do not know how to do that and have no desire to know.
 
Like my wife sometimes says: “I don’t know. I don’t want to know. And I hate the one who knows…”
