Driving back to Adelaide after working on my block, looooong drive, my eyes tend to droop and want to close after like an hours driving. (I have scheduled hourly stops to overcome this.)

I wonder of CO2 is helping to make me feel intensely sleepy?

Anyway, thought it might be fun to buy a CO2 meter to plug into a USB outlet in the car and see how CO2 levels vary? Could tell me when doors/windows have been open long enough to purge excess CO2.

Any suggestions to a cheap but OK CO2 meter for use in a car?

Let me know how you go with the little experiment.

I've had some similar experiences after site fit outs with a 4-hour drive back to the airport to catch a flight home at night. It's likely just the fact they're usually 20-21 hour days, but I'm still keen to know what the sensor shows if you ever get it up and running.

I bought one from Ebay, $111 incl postage. Just hope that it arrives in time. Powered via USB so suitable for a car.

Will post the details on my return. I am most interested in the return trip: heading out the excitement obviously overcomes any CO2 excess but I will drive for an hour recirculating the air in the cabin and the rest with fresh air entering the cabin. Can test open v closed windows etc.

From Keith in SA to Nhill in Vic is 124Km, bit over an hours drive. Do that recirculating the air in the cabin, note results in a quick stop in Keith.

Add some interest to a boring drive.

Please don't thank me. Effusive fawning and obeisance of disciples, mendicants, and foot-kissers embarrass me.

Why don’t you do the world a favor and drop dead?

You add nothing to a debate but a bit of cut and paste Lib propaganda. You cannot argue worth a damn when someone refutes the crap you post.

So—do the world a favor and drop dead, yeah?
