Saturday was the first time in over a year our six left the island and almost two years since it drove off island under it's own power. Needless to say, it was nice to cruise on the freeway @70-75MPH for a change.
Only off island for the day, dropped off heads to get flycut (Bug), took the long way back North. Stopped off to fill the tank, 10.4 gallons of E-Free ($5.69 a gallon), reset the tripometer at 284 miles. Well dang, that's 27MPG! Nicely done little CIS 2.7 engine! Drove normally, only digging into the throttle a couple of times. Some sitting in stop/go traffic, some freeway stretches, very mixed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

It's difficult to get an idea of gas milage with one "fill up" as that varies from pump to pump with the auto cutoff features on gas pumps. Best to average over a long road trip for a realistic evaluation. Nice looking set of wheels there. Are you on the Orca Islands? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
