Stop for the second time to gas up. Averaged 80 to 90 mph a lot of terrain and still only managed 20.23 mpg for the second leg. Sooooo we will check it again to see what happens. Every thing is running great so far. Just over 3 hours from grand junction where we will get a hotel for the night.

I think he could do much better if he drives more conservatively, Maybe 25 + to the gallon.

Conservatively... Yea... Give him 6 or 8 months for that "conservatively" to kick in. I know I am still not at "conservatively" yet.

Maybe he could just give us a tank of gas at 70mph...

Straight highway I get about 25 in my Z32TT... if I stay out of the boost.

Someday, I hope to have you build my roadster.



Dixon- Congrats!!! You're a boostaholic now for sure.

Bought the TT in 2001 and I am almost there....
