Did Colorado Springs to Salt Lake City today. No hiccups. About 600 miles. It got hot in Utah this afternoon. Car ran a little hot, but to be expected with the ambient temps. Never overheated.
Crossed 2 summits with no issues. One was 9400 ft elevation.
28mpg!
Tomorrow should be final leg into NorCal to bring her home.

How many people can say that within 24 hours of aquiring a 814, they get to do a speed tun on the BSF!?!?
Too much fun!

@Fisterd looks like ur enjoing ur long drive with ur nice newly acquired 914.
It seems you have a stock height on ur suspension which is good for this kind of long drive and with just right tire size. Oh if u still have the ljet, that will be the best also.
Good I still have parts of Ljet for my future use.

Take care on your left journey home! God bless!

Make sure you wash the underside of the car extremely well, that salt gets in everything and corrodes like a mother!

Made it home yesterday about 6 pm.
What an epic adventure! Got to know the car a lot better. It ran great the whole way.
I averaged 29 mpg, which I think is great for a 44 year old FI system.
