[V8] High Current Drain

[urq]

... I'll second Dave's comments x2 '91 5-speeds.  For me one is typpically 
in use while the other sits idle for fairly extended intervals.  Right now 
#2 is the one sitting idle, but I started it just fine over the weekend.  I 
guess the test may not be completely valid ... that car has no Instrument 
Cluster right now!

Anyway, I'd expect any car with a good battery to be able to sit for a 
couple weeks without any sort of charging required.
