Don't get full tank. That's more weight which gives you worse mileage which makes you get gas sooner. Fill up 1/2 maybe a bit more and that's it.

El cable (indiglo) is sold in stores under streetglow brand and they have different colors. About 5 feet with inverter and I have it hooked to the cig lighter with neons to come on with the ignition. It's taped under the seats and at night there is a nice glow.
