Driving by myself and no luggage, I get 51.8 mpg at a constant 60 mph
(tested only once). With two people and luggage, I vary between 47 and 49
mpg at a constant 70 mph. I have driven from Indiana to Maine and to
Colorado, and these numbers
I know that I saw a post from Greg on this thread earlier, but now I can't
find it. I'll do my best to compile the data on my trips on Sunday, when
I have some free time. It will be interesting to see whether there is a

of B100 and all
the accumulated crap from 21 years of Dr. Dino came loose :) The problem
will not have time to reoccur.

ft-lbs torque.
