It's my understanding the Hybrids are better in town because of all the stop and go driving. When you are slowing down you recharge the battery when the electric motor turns into a generator. Highway driving you don't get much regenerative braking. I can get over 30 miles per gallon with my...

I would assume anything plugged in drawing enough current would do the job. I never notice the light being on even in the dark. If you are into total darkness in the cab paint it black. Actually the one I use is color selectable so it doubles as accent lighting for the passengers in the rear...
I should have been more specific. Behind the rear console in the rear passenger area on some Mavericks is an AC outlet like you would find in your home. There is a 400 watt inverter that supplies 120V AC. You can plug things like an electric razor, toothbrush or other low wattage appliances...
