Re: voltage drop

The resistance in wire (directly related to voltage drop) is rated in ohms
per 1000 feet.
As an example (Belden) 20AWG stranded wire, common for low current wiring in
cars  is 10.15 ohms Mft. This is 0.0105 ohms per ft.
I suspect you could extend everything by 20 feet and nothing in your car
(perhaps an O2 sensor) would know the difference.
