I will drive it for my weekend errands and see if that helps. I just have not wanted to get stranded.
My commute involves more stop lights than pavement so I am sure idling but accelerating above 2000 rpm comprises maybe 2minutes of my 6 minutes drive. I might make it into third gear once a week. And then only for a second.
I will measure my alternator voltage this weekend, when I jump and drive it.
As for evil oil- I do change my oil once a year just because it feels weird not to, so that would be about every 700 miles or so. But that is good to know.
